Not just because i'm a fan, but because these 3 players always gave 100%. Doleman was a great DE, who registered many QB sacks, just a relentless pass rusher. Also, Randle was a fearless DT, who could intimidate opposing lineman, and another ferocious pass rusher. Of course you could'nt say enough about Chris Carter, not only was he a great WR, but he unselfishly taught Randy Moss the ropes early on. I think one Vikings' QB who probably won't make the Hall, but should based on sheer heart, guts and determination was Joe Kapp. Hey, he never had a great arm or piled up stats, but go through old Vikings video footage of Kapp in 1969 on youtube, this guy played in all the elements, and took on linebackers head-on, while running with the ball, now that's a tough football player.
