By Adam Patrick
Who are some of the lesser-known former members of the Minnesota Vikings that are still set to play for a team in the NFL for the 2022 season?
During the era of the franchise with Mike Zimmer as the head coach, the roster of the Minnesota Vikings featured a core group of players that stuck around for the majority of his tenure.
Guys like Harrison Smith, Adam Thielen, Anthony Barr, Kyle Rudolph, Danielle Hunter, and Eric Kendricks were all with the Vikings for at least six of Zimmer’s eight seasons as the team’s head coach.
But during this time period, Minnesota also had a number of players spend very brief periods of time with the franchise. This isn’t something that is just unique to the Vikings, as every other team in the NFL is always taking a chance on a guy with the hope that they will help the organization reach their goals.
Some of the players that only spent a brief portion of their pro careers with Minnesota are still in the NFL and under contract for the 2022 season. Who are a few of these forgotten former Vikings players that are still in the league?
