As one of the 50 Greatest Vikings, Scott Studwell made a name for himself as a tackling machine at linebacker. He played 14 seasons in a purple and gold jersey before hanging up his cleats and calling it a career.
However, even after 201 games played with 160 starts with 16 fumble recoveries, 11 interceptions, nine sacks, and a franchise-high 1,981 tackles according to the team’s official website, Studwell’s time in Minnesota wasn’t even close to done.
After his retirement on the field, he took a position in 1991 within the organization as a scout with the team.
