Former Viking Keith Millard remembers when training camp was an event

Keith Millard was one of the NFL's best defensive tackles in the 1980s, and was Defensive Player of the Year in 1989 when he had 18 sacks. He also was one of the league's free spirits, known as a player who liked to create havoc on -- and sometimes off -- the field.

Now 53 and the father of six children ranging in age from 10 to 27, Millard has been away from the NFL since 2012, when he coached with the Tennessee Titans. He has been running a camp for defensive linemen since leaving the league.

Millard joined the Vikings in 1985 and spent seven seasons here.
