The Minnesota Vikings have seen some great tackles move in and out of the organization over the course of their franchise history. Ever since becoming a team in 1961, fans have seen many great defenders make great plays, some of which are more memorable than others.
Recently, the Pioneer Press spoke with former cornerback Antoine Winfield about his time with the Vikings, his place in team history, and his son, University of Minnesota safety Antoine Winfield Jr.
The topic of tackling was addressed and Winfield made a bold claim about his place among the best tacklers.
