Alexander Mattison: NFL Running Back for the Minnesota Vikings Discusses His Football Career and Fashion

Minnesota Vikings Running Back Alexander Mattison talks candidly about the struggles growing up in San Bernardino, California, the choices he made to have a better life, and ultimately his rise to the NFL draft. At the young age of 21, Alexander is articulate, smart, fashionable and most importantly- caring. He launched a line of clothing called I Am Gifted because Alex believes we all have gifts to share. He also created cleats for the My Cleats My Cause campaign in support of suicide prevention and raising awareness for mental health. He's since come to understand better how to support friends and family members who are battling mental illness. Of course, we talk about fashion and his personal style. He shares his favorite brands, and how he finds the best fitting suit. Alexander and Joe play a game called “Do You Know?” Alexander gets to ask Joe three questions about football, and Joe asks him three questions about fashion.
