I'm a diehard NC State fan and never heard of this being a problem while Bradbury was there. The following was taken from Pro Football Talk.
The Vikings thoroughly scouted center Garrett Bradbury before using the 18th overall choice on him. They had all his measurables, watched all his tape and did background work.
But the Vikings missed something on their scouting report: Bradbury has a sweaty posterior.
Thatβs the word from quarterback Kirk Cousins, who is having a hard time gripping the ball when he takes snaps under center from Bradbury.
Cousins spent part of his press conference Wednesday talking about Bradburyβs sweat problem.
Cousins was asked what he wants to see from his rookie center in the preseason, and what he would most like to see is for Bradbury to stop sweating so much.
βIβm going to take it back to how much he sweats again,β Cousins said, via Andrew Krammer of the Star-Tribune. βHe promises itβs not a problem in games, but it remains to be seen because his shorts today were soaked. He says itβs not a problem on game days, so the moment of truth Friday night. But apparently you know they keep these domes air conditioned. You get a break on the bench with those cooling fans. Iβm hoping that really helps. Thatβs a big thing Iβm going to take away from Friday night, was how tough was it to grip the ball after he snaps it to me? If it is tough, we might be in pistol and shotgun all year, which coach [Gary] Kubiak and Kevin [Stefanski] wouldnβt like very much.β
It is funny until it isnβt. Bradbury is the teamβs starting center, so Cousins will have to figure out how to get a grip, so he doesnβt fumble

I don't like Cousins saying this to the media. Seems a bit personal, thou I do hope it doesn't cause Kirk to have more fumbles than he already does.

It does seem rather "cheeky" to "air your dirty laundry" in the press.

Watch the video here. I think he's joking.

Should be fine until Cousins starts referring to him as "Cadbury".

Boomer and Gio talked about this for 15 minutes on the FAN NY this morning. The Vikings havenβt been discussed for that long on NY sports radio since the NFCC game two years ago. All it took was swamp ass for the Vikings to make a splash with the NY media.

This is one of those things I'd rather not know. But, here's the answer. Attachment Deleted

It was talked about on "The Ticket" in DFW TX this morning as well. I believe Kirk was joking, but have to wonder if Bradbury appreciates it much.

Looks like he's laughing it off - good for him. Kirk won't care when he sees Garrett knocking the crap out of people.

I think if you have to make a living by strolling up to a line of 5 or 6 guys showing you their big, fat asses and then stick your hands up against one of those fellow's big fat ass while he hands you a ball from under his nuts, well, you deserve to blow off a little steam about what a slimy mess it all is.
