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.

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...

Yes! Thank you.

I was drawing a complete blank on his name...

I was going to say Kelly Campbell, but David Palmer was an awesome player and did his role very well.

Mewelde Moore

Chester Taylor, Third Down back.

Just seemed to be the total package on that down

Percy. He rolls all the time.

Paul Krause in his prime.

Farwell.

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.

Also his wrestling move TD dances were the best. I remember him doing a spinarooni and giving the ball a People's Elbow.

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.

Wiggins was a poster child for anyone that's ever been underestimated.

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.
