5 best Minnesota Vikings wide receivers of the 21st century
By Adam Patrick
Of all the wide receivers to wear a Minnesota Vikings uniform since the 2000 season, which five have been the absolute best?
Despite there being a high number of quarterbacks starting for the Minnesota Vikings since 2000, a good amount of wide receivers still managed to find a way to produce at a high level for the team in that same time period.
During the 21st century the Vikings have sent seven receivers to the Pro Bowl, two have been First-Team All-Pro selections, and five have finished with 1,000 or more receiving yards in a single season. Two of Minnesota’s pass-catchers to play for the team in the last 18 years have also been voted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame.
Obviously, the Vikings have also had some stretches of poor play from their receivers too since 2000. But Minnesota currently has a pair of pass-catchers that are beginning to remind fans of a certain receiving duo from the early part of the century.
So of all the wide receivers to play for the Vikings since the 2000 season, which five have out-performed the others and stood out as the absolute best?
