Name Your 5 Favorite Vikings of All Time

Post by Mothman »

It's tough to narrow it down to 5. No honorable mentions allowed. That's taking the easy way out. :) Just pick 5!

1.) Alan Page
2.) Carl Eller
3.) Adrian Peterson
4.) Cris Carter
5.) John Randle

It was hard to pick that fifth player because I was leaving out so many others that I liked.

I didn't really start watching football until the mid-90s. So while I can respect the older players, I didn't get to watch them. I'm sure my list reflects that.

Adrian Peterson
Jared Allen
Winfield
Kluwe
John Randle

1. Randy Moss
2. Antoine Winfield
3. Brett Favre - Yes, I love revenge! :twisted:
4. Randle McDaniel
5. Adrian Peterson

Honorable mention: BERNARD BERRIAN! :D

Yeah, I'm not that old, so I didn't know THAT many names from back in the 90's even though I loved them and watched them every single Sunday back then too - just didn't know a lot of them by name.

Mine is in no real order.

1) Fran the Man (lead us to 4 Super Bowls)
2) Randy Moss (I'd still love for him to come back for round 3)
3) Alan Page (I'd argue our best DT ever)
4) Chris Kluwe (won't be remembered for his play but love his out going personality and standing up for what he believes)
5) Jim Marshall (wrong way run)

No, it can be anyone who ever played for the Vikings.
