Do you know what year the picture was taken?
Could the guy on the left be Brent McClanahan?
I've told people a million times not to exaggerate!

I had the same thought and did a Google image search for Brent McClanahan to refresh my memory regarding his appearance but I don't see much resemblance. Give it a try it and see what you think.
If that is Osborn on the right.. He had a crewcut early on in the late '60's. The photo shows long sideburns and the crewcut is gone. I'd say the photo is from 1970-1971. My guess is Clint Jones, another running back. What say Mothman?

It definitely looks like a '70s shot. Jones is a good guess.

It's not Jones. Look at the Google pics. He has a much rounder face. But the Google pics show that it's definitely Osborne on the right, despite the hair style.
What we need is a Vikings roster pic from whatever year the pic was taken, unless this was shot after these guys retired.

I did a search for Jones and I agree, it doesn't look like him. I don't think it's Gene Washington or Nate Wright either. I'm stumped. We need that team picture you mentioned!
