When it was revealed that new Minnesota Vikings safety George Iloka would be wearing the number 28 jersey for the team, many fans on social media began to cry foul, stating that the number should always belong to a different player.
Over the years, the number 28 in Minnesota has become synonymous with Adrian Peterson, at least in the modern era of Football. While historians of the team may associate the number with Ahmad Rashad, odds are that this jersey number will eventually be retired by the Vikings in honor of the man who broke just about every rushing record for the franchise.
