The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2023 regular season in 67 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.
The last Viking to wear 66 was punter Ryan Wright and there was a 24-year gap with players who wore the number.
