61 days until Vikings season opener: Every player to wear No. 61
It’s the final countdown…
Well, sort of.
The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2023 regular season in 61 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.
Timon Parris was the last player to wear the number, but the number will be more known for either Joe Berger, Wes Hamilton, or Larry Bowie who all wore it for an extended amount of time.
With 61 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to wear No. 61 with the Vikings (via Pro Football Reference):
OT Timon Parris (2021-2022)
OC Brett Jones (2018-2020)
OT Joe Berger (2011-2017)
OT Lewis Kelly (2001-2003)
OT Everett Lindsay (1993-1998)
OG Mike Turner (1987)
