Vikings Alumni Weekend a 'Family Reunion' for Players of the Past

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. –

Players who hadn’t recently seen each other – and for some, it had been years – greeted each other with hugs, handshakes and hearty stories of the gridiron.

“It’s absolutely fantastic to be here,” said former defensive tackle Ken Clarke (1989-91). “It’s like a big fraternity, so it’s really good to see people from different eras and to see the Vikings organization. It’s like family – it’s fantastic.”

Clarke joined more than 100 Vikings alumni for the homecoming weekend, including former teammates Chris Doleman, Cris Carter and John Randle.
