95 days until Vikings season opener: Every player to wear No. 95

It’s the final countdown…

Well, sort of.

The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2023 regular season in 96 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.

Defensive tackle Khyiris Tonga currently wears the number, but it’s a number that has switched hands more than once. Six players have worn the number since 2013, including two players during the 2022 season (Tonga and Janarius Robinson). Kenechi Udeze wore the number for four seasons, which makes him the longest-tenured No. 95 in Vikings history.

With 95 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to wear No. 95 with the Vikings (via Pro Football Reference):
