Minnesota has been busy during free agency this year, bringing in 4 new faces to the Vikings for the 2016 NFL season. Guard Alex Boone, safety Michael Griffin, linebacker Travis Lewis and linebacker Emmanuel Lamur have all signed deals with the team and are ready to get to work under head coach Mike Zimmer.
One of the smaller steps in getting these players on the field is choosing a jersey number. Some of these numbers have some historical significance or emotional connections to fans, but these 4 players wasted no time picking numbers to represent them.
Here is are the numbers each player chose and some of the players who have previously held those numbers:
#76 Alex Boone, guard
- Boone has some big shoes to fill after moving on from wearing #75 and going to #76.
