Summary
C.J. Ham is the starting fullback for the Minnesota Vikings. He was signed as an undrafted free-agent in 2016, and after being cut, was signed to the Vikings’ practice squad just before the start of the season. In December that year, Ham was signed to the active roster and made his NFL debut.
Three seasons later, in 2019, Ham made the Pro Bowl. He signed a contract extension in early 2020.
In college at Augustana University (Division II), Ham helped his team advance to the NCAA playoffs, and he led the Northern Sun Conference in rushing yards and touchdowns.
Today on the podcast, Ham shares about trusting in God’s love after his mother’s death, gratitude for his NFL journey and how he’s continuing to grow in his faith.
