Most players who have ever suited up and played a down of football for the Minnesota Vikings can be remembered for something. Whether it’s a legend like Bud Grant or Randy Moss, or someone whose time with the franchise was short-lived like Moritz Böhringer or Babatunde Aiyegbusi. While the word “legacy” is often reserved for those who make the biggest impact, anyone can leave a legacy of their own, so long as they’re memorable and stand out from the crowd.
Za’Darius Smith is a great example of this. He will never be viewed as a Vikings legend in the same way Jared Allen or Everson Griffen are; although they all can be described as boisterous and unhinged.
