Quite a few players have played for both the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers over the course of history and some of them are quite prominent.

For the most part, there isn’t a lot of love to be shared by fans of the Minnesota Vikings and the Green Bay Packers. The two teams have been at the top of the NFC North for much of recent history and that has created a rivalry between the two squads.

The two teams have played each other 121 times in history and the group from Wisconsin leads the all-time series 63-55-3. That record will change on Sunday when the Packers come to Minnesota in Week 11.

Over the course of history, some players have had the pleasure of suiting up for both the Packers and Vikings during their careers. Those players have enjoyed the pleasure of being cheered on by both fanbases.

Let’s take a look at five prominent players who wore green and gold as well as purple and gold during their time in the NFL as well as some others who also hold this distinction starting with the biggest recent name.
