Joining the NFL in 1961, the Minnesota Vikings quickly became one of the league's most successful teams. While they have not won a Super Bowl, the Vikings have appeared in four: IV, VIII, IX and XI. Quarterback Fran Tarkenton led the Vikings to the latter three. Other great players who have appeared in Viking purple include Carl Eller, Jim Finks, Bud Grant, Paul Krause, Alan Page, Ron Yary, Cris Carter, Herschel Walker,
