After hitting a bit of a rough patch with Minnesota Vikings fans over his list of the greatest defensive tackles in NFL history, Gil Brandt of NFL.com tries to make things right with his list of the greatest wide receivers.
Granted, there are only two receivers with connections to the Vikings on Brandt’s list, but neither of them are surprising, and they’re both in the top ten.
The first one that we find is Cris Carter, who Brandt has at #10 on his list. After getting off to a rough start to his NFL career, the Vikings made their famous $100 waiver claim to bring Carter to Minnesota, and his career ascended to heights that not many probably thought were possible.
