To celebrate the NFL’s 100 season, the league is putting together a top-100 list of the best to do it.
So far, the NFL has announced its picks for running back, linebacker, defensive end and defensive tackle.
The Vikings had two representatives in the defensive tackle category with Alan Paige and John Randle.
Randle, a seven-time Pro Bowler and six-time All-Pro, spent 11 seasons with the Vikings, amassing 114 sacks with Minnesota and 137.5 overall. He was inducted to the Hall of Fame in 2010. The fact that he went undrafted in 1990 is pretty remarkable.
Page, who was part of the original Purple People Eaters, was with the Vikings from 1967-78. He made nine Pro Bowls, six All-Pro teams and was even named the league’s MVP in 1971. Page was named to the Hall of Fame in 1988.
The NFL will release its selections for cornerback, safety, punter, kicker and returner on Monday, Dec. 2.
