On the eve of Minnesota Vikings games, I’ve selected an All-Time team of their opponent. The Vikings are on bye and have no game tomorrow. That makes this a fine time to select a Minnesota Vikings All-Time Team.
Offense
Quarterback
Fran Takenton
Running Backs
Adrian Peterson
Chuck Foreman
Fullback
Bill Brown
Wide Receivers
Cris Carter
Randy Moss
Tight End
Steve Jordan
Tackles
Gary Zimmerman
Ron Yary
Guards
Randall McDaniel
Steve Huntchinson
Center
Mick Tingelhoff
A Hall of Fame offensive line.
Defense
Defensive Ends
Carl Eller
Chris Doleman
Defensive Tackles
Alan Page
John Randle
A Hall of Fame defensive line.
Linebackers
Matt Blair
Eric Kendricks
Chad Greenway
Cornerbacks
Carl Lee
Xavier Rhodes
Safeties
Paul Krause
Harrison Smith
If I was actually playing a game with these football players, I’d probably pair Harrison Smith with Joey Browner. I’d feel much better about my team’s ability to stop an offense with Smith and Browner patrolling the field. For an All-Time Team like this, I can’t ignore the Pro Football Hall of Fame status of Paul Krause or his 81 career interceptions. There are NFL records that many consider unbreakable. Krause’s 81 interceptions is one of those records.
Special Teams
Kicker
Ryan Longwell
Punter
Chris Kluwe
Kick Returner
Cordarrelle Patterson
Punt Returner
Marcus Sherels
