The franchise leader in career tackles (1,981), season tackles (230 in 1981) and tackles in a game (24 against Detroit in 1985), Studwell successfully transitioned from the gridiron to the front office as a member of the personnel department in 1991.
Vikings.com’s Mike Wobschall and I caught up with the Ring of Honor Member who was named to the 25th and 40th Anniversary Teams and the 50 Greatest Vikings to retrace his career on the field, his time on the road as a scout and gather his thoughts on the current team.
Studwell’s 40-plus continuous seasons with the Vikings are filled with fond memories, as well as a few moments that he and fans wish they’d get to do over.
