Our All-Time Top 50 Minnesota Vikings have been revised to reflect the 2022 Season
Yes, we know that this is taking a while!
As many of you know, we here at Notinhalloffame.com are slowly generating the 50 of each major North American sports team. That being said, we have existing Top 50 lists out and we always consistently look to update them when we can and based on necessity. As such, we are very happy to present our post 2022 revision of our top 50 Minnesota Vikings.
As for all of our top 50 players in football we look at the following:
1. Advanced Statistics.
2. Traditional statistics and how they finished in the National Football League.
3. Playoff accomplishments.
4. Their overall impact on the team and other intangibles not reflected in a stat sheet.
Last year, the Vikings had an excellent regular season, but were unable to go deep into the playoffs. There were three new elevations and one new entrant based on the 2022 Season.
As always, we present our top five, which was not affected by the last season:
1. Alan Page
3. Randall McDaniel
4. Carl Eller
You can find the entire list here.
Safety, Harrison Smith, inched up one rung to #29.
Running Back, and (as of this writing) Free Agent, Dalvin Cook, advanced nine spots to #32.
Defensive End, Danielle Hunter climbed up four spots to #36.
Quarterback, Kirk Cousins, who added his third Pro Bowl in Minnesota went from #48 to #43.
The new entrant is Linebacker, Eric Kendricks, who is now with the Los Angeles Chargers. He enters at #50.
It is notable that Wide Receiver, Justin Jefferson, just missed out on a spot despite only playing three seasons.
We welcome your input and comments and as always, we thank you for your support.
#133 Overall, Eric Kendricks, Linebacker, Dallas Cowboys: #11 Interior Lineman/Linebackers: Interior Lineman
2023 Pre-Season Rank #119, 2022 Pre-Season Rank #119, 2021 Pre-Season Rank #133. Peak Period: 2015-19
After eight years in Minnesota, Eric Kendricks joined the Los Angeles Chargers but enters this season with Dallas. However, any Hall of Fame talk (if any) has stalled since his monster 2019 season. Has he done enough for the Vikings to honor him in some capacity in the future?
