54 days until Vikings season opener: Every player to wear No. 54
It’s the final countdown…
Well, sort of.
The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2023 regular season in 54 days at home against the Tampa Bay Buccaneers on Sept. 10.
From now until then, we will take a trip down memory lane and count each day by revisiting the players that have worn that specific jersey number.
Before his release, Eric Kendricks wore the number from 2015 until 2022. He’s likely the best player to wear the number, as well.
With 54 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to wear No. 54 with the Vikings (via Pro Football Reference):
LB Eric Kendricks (2015-2022)
LB Jasper Brinkley (2009-2014)
