Randall McDaniel becomes Barista for Vikings Alumni

By Lindsey Young, For Vikings.com

It’s not every day that a Hall of Fame NFL lineman will pour you coffee, but that is exactly what happened Saturday morning at Winter Park.

As part of the Vikings Homecoming celebration, a number of former Vikings gathered at the training facility to watch the current team practice in the field house as well as catch up with one another. As they entered the cafeteria, a few players were greeted by none other than Hall of Fame guard Randall McDaniel (1988-99). McDaniel is an athlete, an elementary school teacher and — at least on Saturday — a stand-in barista.
