The Minnesota Vikings have a deep, rich history. Founded in 1961, there have been many great players that have stepped on either Metropolitan Stadium, the Metrodome or U.S. Bank Stadium that have donned the purple and gold.
While every player leaves their mark on the franchise they play for, there’s no denying that there was nobody in the history of the Vikings that was quite like Randy Moss.
Prior to Moss’ arrival in Minnesota, the Vikings were just kind of there. Sure, there were glory days in the 1970s when Fran Tarkenton and the Purple People Eaters led Minnesota to four Super Bowls, but that fandom was lukewarm as the franchise trudged through the 80s.
