Of all of the players to ever suit up for the Minnesota Vikings, which four former members of the organization deserve to be on the team’s Mount Rushmore?

Yes, we know that the Minnesota Vikings have been unable to get over the hump and capture a Super Bowl victory ever since their first season in 1961.

However, some of the greatest players in the history of the NFL spent a good portion of their careers in a purple and gold Vikings uniform. Currently, there are 20 players enshrined in the Pro Football Hall of Fame that spent at least part of their time in the league with Minnesota.

During their history as a franchise, the Vikings have also been home to three NFL MVPs, two Offensive Players of the Year, two Defensive Players of the Year, five Rookies of the Year, 101 Pro Bowlers, and 30 First-Team All-Pros.

Looking back at all of the former members of Minnesota’s roster, which four should be regarded as the absolute best in franchise history? Which four former Vikings players deserve to be on the team’s Mount Rushmore?
