Jim Marshall is one of the greatest Minnesota Vikings of all time. He played 20 seasons as a pro, almost all of them coming with the Vikings. Marshall played as a Viking from 1961-1979 and was a 14-time captain during his playing days.
The former defensive end holds an NFL record for playing 270 consecutive games with one team. When you think of a team player and a leader, you almost certainly think of Marshall.
In honor of Marshall, the Vikings unveiled the Jim Marshall Legacy Display that will honor each year’s team captains. This year, the Vikings are honoring Harrison Smith, Josh Metellus, Harrison Phillips, Andrew DePaola, Sam Darnold CJ Ham, and Justin Jefferson.
The Vikings will play their first game on Sunday when they head to New York to face the Giants.
