For the Minnesota Vikings, the long offseason will be soon over and players will finally arrive at training camp. There are now just 80 days until the Vikings begin their quest back to the playoffs on September 8 against the Atlanta Falcons.
Speaking of 80, that jersey number is one of only six that have been retired by Minnesota. It was made famous in purple and gold by Hall of Fame wide receiver Cris Carter.
Carter was known for not only his spectacular hands during his tenure with the Vikings, but also for his great footwork with his sideline catches.
