Earlier this week, the Minnesota Vikings selected former tight end Steve Jordan as the 25th member of the team's Ring of Honor. He will receive his snappy purple jacket and be formally inducted on October 24 at US Bank Stadium when the Vikings take on the Washington Redskins.
A seventh-round pick in 1982 out of Brown, Jordan played all 13 seasons of his NFL career in Minnesota. He caught 498 passes for 6,307 yards and 28 touchdowns. His 498 receptions rank third in team history, trailing only Cris Carter (1,004) and Randy Moss (587). He was selected to six consecutive Pro Bowls from 1986-91, establishing himself as one of the best tight ends in the league. He is the best tight end in the history of the Vikings franchise.
"It's quite and honor," Jordan said. "Just understanding the history of this franchise the way I do, I feel like this is going to become even more impactful to me over time. It's going to keep soaking in and get even better as time goes on."
Congratulations Steve Jordan on your much-deserved place in the Minnesota Vikings Ring of Honor.
