As Brian Robison enters his 11th season with the Vikings, his 56 career sacks place him in a tie for ninth all-time in franchise history and as the leader among current players.
The defensive end has brought productivity and a relentless work ethic to Minnesota since being drafted in the fourth round in 2007 out of the University of Texas.
But the longest-tenured Viking has also taken on a bigger leadership role in the past few years, a topic Jon Krawczynski of the Associated Press recently wrote about.
Krawczynski wrote that Robison’s mentorship of fellow defensive end Danielle Hunter has impressed many around the organization, including Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer.
