The 2020 NFL season is the 60th season of the Minnesota Vikings. What better way to celebrate and recognize that milestone than a ranking of the 60 Greatest Players in franchise history? It's a very subjective ranking and it changes daily. I might even make some tweaks while typing it.

For the player that he is on the field and the person that he is off the field, Dalvin Cook is fast becoming one of my all-time favorite Vikings players. I nearly had him on this list despite his having played only one somewhat complete season. If he finishes this season like he started it maybe he makes next year's ranking of the 61 Greatest Minnesota Vikings Players.
