Minnesota Vikings 1980s All-Decade Team

It's on to the 1980s. The first 3/4 of this decade was a little rough for the Vikings. The last 1/4 was fun. But not fun enough.

Offense

Quarterback
Tommy Kramer

Running backs

-Not to take anything away from Steve Jordan, he was the best tight end in franchise history, but Joe Senser has to be mentioned here. If injuries hadn't taken his career Senser might've been an all-timer.
