Ravens Super Bowl Champion Matt Birk Joins Minnesota Gubernatorial Scott Jensen’s Candidate – CBS Baltimore

BALTIMORE (WJZ) – Matt Birk, a center with the Baltimore Ravens for three seasons and a member of the Super Bowl XLVII winning team, is in the running for the ticket of Minnesota gubernatorial candidate Scott Jensen, a Republican.

A video announcement released by the campaign on Tuesday shows a football player in a red shirt entering to block an opponent wearing a blue shirt with phrases such as “Lockdowns”, “Vax Mandate”, “Mask Mandate”. and “Carjackings” on the backs of their shirts – players like those that moment before handling everyday citizens or dropping them into the water.
