Chris Kluwe, former NFL punter for the Minnesota Vikings, says he was fired from his job as a high school football coach after he was taken into custody while engaging in "peaceful civil disobedience.

The former Minnesota Vikings punter has publicly advocated for his beliefs in the past. He said this time feels different.

Chris Kluwe said he was fired as a coach at Edison High School in Huntington Beach, Calif., after his anti-MAGA protest and arrest last week.

The future of the NFL will be on full display in Indianapolis starting Thursday. That is because the 2025 NFL Scouting Combine is in town, and college football's top prospects will participate in a variety of drills that will help determine where they are selected come April.

NFL Scouting Combine is no guarantor of pro football success. But players can cement their place in league history even without playing a down on Sundays with a big performance in front of scouts. The annual event brings some of the nation's best athletes to Indianapolis to participate in interviews and drills meant to test their NFL mettle.
