Shaun Alexander, the former NFL MVP, is filling his days with a mix of the spiritual and physical.
Alexander is currently on a nine-city tour speaking at churches, clubs and businesses -- anywhere that will let him share his Christian faith. In the meantime, he is working hard with a different kind of faith that an NFL team in need of a running back will summon him before the 2009 season is up.
"I feel before the season is over, I think somebody will go down and they'll say, 'We want somebody who can score some touchdowns and make some things happen,"' Alexander said during a phone interview Thursday. "They'll say, 'Let's go get Shaun.'" He did comment on whether he will accept chance to put on minnesota vikings jersey.
Alexander's initial return to the NFL was short-lived. He was signed by the Washington Redskins last October to fill in for injured backup Ladell Betts, but he had only 11 carries in five games before he was released, indicating an aborted comeback after the Seattle Seahawks cut him following two seasons marred by foot and wrist injuries.
But Alexander, who turns 32 in August, still feels like his body allows him to play more football.
