Minnesota Vikings: Top 30 draft picks in franchise history
By Dan Zinski
22. Sammy White
Long before Randy Moss came along, Sammy White was the original Vikings rookie sensation at wide receiver.
Drafted 54th overall in 1976 out of Grambling, White burst on the scene his first season with 51 receptions for 906 yards and ten TDs.
Unlike Moss, White would help the Vikings all the way to the Super Bowl in his first season (though the Vikes would of course lose that Super Bowl).
White followed up his Pro Bowl rookie campaign by again making the Pro Bowl in his sophomore year.
Though White would have better statistical seasons later on, including a 1000-yard receiving year in 1981, he would never again go to the Pro Bowl.
White would finish his Vikings career with 6,400 yards and 50 TDs.
