For example: Chris Walsh (Special Teams), Chuck Evans (excellent FB), Jim Kleinsasser (awesome blocking TE)...
Players who had a small role in the success of the team, but did it very well.
Me, I would love to have Kliensasser back. He was so underrated for the teams he played on. I also loved Charles Evans.
Who would you like to have back? Any player in Vikings history.

The Devil whispered in the Viking's ear, "There's a storm coming." The Viking replied, "I am the storm." #SKOL2018
Re: Which role player would you like to have back?
Kleinsasser's a good choice. I wouldn't mind having Steve Jordan, although I don't know if he qualifies as a role-player. He was a terrific receiving TE with an ability to get downfield.
I'd love a really explosive punt returner. Who's the best PR in Vikes' history? I'm drawing a blank. Burleson was good but there was an undersized player who played with Denny Green's Vikes ...
Help me out, guys. You probably know the player I'm talking about. He was small, a hybrid RB/receiver, very explosive...

I was going to say Kelly Campbell, but David Palmer was an awesome player and did his role very well.Mothman wrote: Yes! Thank you.

Chester Taylor, Third Down back.
Just seemed to be the total package on that down

Percy. He rolls all the time.
A successful coach needs a patient wife, loyal dog, and great quarterback - and not necessarily in that order.

Wiggins. Decent blocker, fine hands. Had a 700 yard season where he just caught everything, I think one season led our team in total receptions and hurdled everbody. Next year had another 70 catch, 500 plus yard season. Wasn't used the following season too much, only started 3 times, and was then cut. I never understood it.

Though brief, I always thought Darius Reynaud was gonna be somebody. He actually blew up for the Titans one game this year. I was pretty disappointed when Childress traded him to the Giants. He was a pretty willing teammate, converted from WR to RB at one point? Or vice versa.

Re: Which role player would you like to have back?
That was THE play for Wiggins. I am certain that when we all think of him, that's the play that comes to mind. The guy appeared out of shape and not particularly athletic... and then he pulls off that hurdle move, mostly because of solid anticipation, and it was a highlight of his career.80 PurplePride 84 wrote: Wiggins was my boy. I remember when he jumped over the guy. I forget who the player was and who it was against but it was awesome.
Also his wrestling move TD dances were the best. I remember him doing a spinarooni and giving the ball a People's Elbow.
Wiggins was a poster child for anyone that's ever been underestimated.

Re: Which role player would you like to have back?
I love Wiggins too. Alot of people didnt, and I dont know why. Everyone expects our TE's to be Jordan. I think Kyle will be better then him if this team ever gets its head out of its #### and gets a real QB.80 PurplePride 84 wrote: Wiggins was my boy. I remember when he jumped over the guy.
