Four days after it was learned that Brent Salazar was leaving the Vikings to join the U.S. Tennis Association, the Vikings announced that Mark Uyeyama will replace him as head strength and conditioning coach. Uyeyama spent the previous nine seasons with the 49ers, working his way up from his first role as assistant strength and conditioning coach to the head job to director of human performance in 2015 and 2016. Prior to joining the 49ers, he was the head strength coach at Utah State. Uyeyama will be the third head strength and conditioning coach in Mike Zimmer’s four years as head coach.
