75 days until Vikings season opener: Every player to wear No. 75

It’s the final countdown…

Well, sort of.

The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2023 regular season in 75 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.

Offensive tackle Brian O’Neill currently wears No. 75 and has worn it since 2017. A solid right tackle, O’Neill may start to make a push toward being the most popular player to wear the number.

With 76 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to wear No. 75 with the Vikings (via Pro Football Reference):
