We take a look at everyone who was worn No. 68 for the Minnesota Vikings as we near the start of the regular season.
It’s the final countdown…
Well, sort of.
The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2023 regular season in 68 days at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 10.
From now until then, we will take a trip down memory lane and count each day by revisiting the players that have worn that specific jersey number.
Kyle Hinton was the last player to wear the number, but the number is likely more popular for any combo of Mike Morris, Curtis Rouse, and Charles Goodrum.
With 68 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to wear No. 68 with the Vikings (via Pro Football Reference):
Jets Wire takes a look at four left tackles Joe Douglas and company should avoid in free agency.
If the Jets elect to move on from Kelvin Beachum this offseason, they will have plenty of options to replace him in free agency.
This year’s left tackle market is relatively deep, which is good news for Joe Douglas. There is also a chance Douglas elects to pluck a new starting left tackle from the 2020 NFL draft.
Regardless of what Douglas decides to do, there are some free agent left tackles New York’s first-year general manager should stay away from at all costs. Let’s take a look at who those players are.
Cedric Ogubehi

A former first-round pick of the Bengals in 2015, Ogubehi came to the NFL loaded with the potential to become an elite left tackle. Instead, the Texas A&M product finds himself for his third team in as many years this offseason.
Things never worked out for Ogubehi in Cincinnati. After struggling as a right tackle in the beginning of his career, Ogubehi shifted back to his natural left tackle position in 2017 when Andrew Whitworth departed in free agency. He failed miserably as a starter on the left side of the line and spent most of 2018 a healthy scratch before doing much of the same for the Jaguars last season.
The Jets should not pursue Ogubehi hoping that he will magically be able to turn the tide and reach his once sky-high ceiling. Joe Douglas’ time is best spent looking elsewhere.
