4. C. Carter
5. Randle

Hard not to put Winfield on the list because he's my favorite current Viking, but ... I had to do it.
As you can see, I like D-Line play.

I just like saying "Igwebuike". :-)

"Fuad" is another good one.

But my favorite NFL name of all-time is still Boobie Clark. Played for Cincy in the 70s. Still remember my Mom yelling, "Goooo Boobie!" whenever he reeled off a big run.

That's a good one. My all-time favorite football name is Bronco Nagurski... because it's about as cool as a football player's name could be. :)

The Packers have the player with my current favorite NFL name: Frank Zombo. However, I prefer to think of him as just "Zombo". If he was a Viking, I'd get his jersey just for the name!

I'm 22 years old, and didn't seriously start watching the vikings until about 2002 or 2003.

1. Adrian Peterson - probably the best player I've ever seen
2. Daunte Culpepper
3. Randy Moss
4. Cris Carter (and it's a crying shame he's not in the HOF yet)
5. The Williams Wall (they count as one, right?)

You are correct. That was a typo on my part. Fran only lead us to 3.

With Pat as part of the "Wall" they should probably count as three. :wink:

Joey Browner (better than Lott, just ask John Madden. Also the man who made me a Vikings fan)
Adrian Peterson
Randy Moss (electric, entertaining and instantly made our team great for years. We just lacked a great QB to create a dynasty with Moss)
Cris Carter (secure hands, reliable and your first down blanket. The Anquan Boldin of his time.)
Randall McDaniel (oh how we could use him today.)
A shout out to Chris Doleman, John Randle, Carl Lee, Wade Wilson, Matt Birk, Jake Reed, Percy Harvin
