Minnesota Vikings all-time 53-man roster: Mike Zimmer era

Which Minnesota Vikings players from Mike Zimmer’s tenure as the team’s head coach should be regarded as one of the franchise’s 53 best to take the field?

Earlier this year, the Minnesota Vikings made the decision to move on from Mike Zimmer as their head coach after eight seasons.

In the time since Zimmer’s departure, many discussions have been had about what went wrong at the end of his tenure. However, the Vikings were also able to experience a bunch of success during the last eight years as well. So not everything was as bad as some might be trying to currently make everyone believe.

During Zimmer’s eight years with Minnesota, the team won 56 percent of their regular-season matchups, they won the NFC North twice, they earned three trips to the postseason, they won two playoff games, and they were a win away from playing in the Super Bowl during the 2017 campaign.

A number of players contributed to the success the Vikings were able to achieve during Zimmer’s tenure with the team. Which current and former members of Minnesota’s roster should be included on the all-time 53-man roster from the era of the franchise that had Zimmer leading the way?
