O'Neill, who will turn 31 in September, has played at a high level for Minnesota since being thrown into the fire Week 6 of his rookie season. An injury to Riley Reiff (replaced at LT by Rashod Hill) resulted in O'Neill's first start, a number that's grown to 120 games.
He's garnered two Pro Bowl nods (following the 2021 and 2024 seasons) and has made an indelible impact on Minnesota's offense through multiple coaching, scheme and quarterback changes.
Has O'Neill reached his ceiling?
"No, not even close," he emphatically responded. "Anytime you move to a new coach and do things a little bit differently, there's some things that, 'Hey, we like that, we need to keep that, but you got away with some of this stuff. Let's not get away with that stuff. Let's get better.'
"Keith certainly has a lot of those for me, and I'm excited," O'Neill added.
