MINNEAPOLIS -- It's been nearly a decade since the Minnesota Vikings had to worry about whether they'd start drives in prime field position.
First it was Percy Harvin establishing himself as one of the most dynamic return men in the league, taking back five kicks for touchdowns from 2009-12. Then, it was Cordarrelle Patterson leading the league in return average during three of his four years in Minnesota, earning two All-Pro honors and scoring five kick return TDs of his own.
Since the Vikings drafted Harvin in 2009, they've enjoyed premium field position after kickoffs more often than almost any team in the league.
