The Minnesota Vikings have had a lot of success over the years, despite never winning a Super Bowl title. However, many memorable legends were created and polished by this team. Here’s a compilation of some of the best Vikings from each of the 5 generations.

Mick Tingelhoff played as a center for the Minnesota Vikings. He was born on May 22, 1940, in Lexington Nebraska, and died on September 11, 2021. He signed with the team in 1962 and spent his entire 17-year career with the Vikings.

He was labeled as a first-team All-Pro five times during the 1960s. Based on his gaming stats, and should he be a player today, handicap bets on NFL sportsbooks would’ve been pretty profitable.

Born on December 19, 1964, Randall McDaniel dominated the Vikings for an extended period. He played as a guard in the NFL for 14 seasons. He was drafted into the team in 1988 in the first round of the NFL draft and did so well that he was awarded the All-Rookie Honors.

He stayed with the Vikings until 1999. He had a streak of 202 starts in a row. He missed only 2 games in his career with the team thereby, gaining the title of Iron Man. He was the first Arizona player to be listed in the Hall of Fame in 2009.

Christopher Darin Carter is regarded as one of the greatest receivers of all time. He played in the NFL for the Philadelphia Eagles while still in college. He then moved to Minnesota Vikings and later Miami Dolphins briefly before retiring. Born November 25, 1965, he was raised in Ohio.

The most triumphant time of his career was when he was with the Vikings. He played in 9 Pro Bowls back-to-back. He was a 2-time first team and one-time second team. He was voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 2013.

Chad Greenway spent his whole career playing for the Vikings as jersey number 52. Born on January 12, 1983, he was first drafted into the NFL in 2006. He stayed with the team for 11 years.
