Jim Marshall was the Vikings team captain from 1966 until his retirement after the 1979 season. He was the team’s leader and the heart and soul of its greatest teams. While he shared the honor with others each of those 14 years, he was The Captain.
The Jim Marshall Vikings Captains Legacy is a great thing.
This announcement came with the reveal of the Minnesota Vikings 2024 Captains.

The “Jim Marshall Vikings Captains Legacy” plaque welcomes players, coaches, employees, and visitors into the team facilities. It honors Marshall and has a beautiful picture of the current captains. It also has a list of all team captains in Vikings franchise history. I’m not sure if I’ve ever seen a complete list of the captains. I haven’t seen it in media guides. I haven’t seen it on the team’s website. From 1961-2024, here’s the Vikings All-Time Captains List.
