84 days until Vikings season opener: Every player to wear No. 84

It’s the final countdown…

Well, sort of.

The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2023 regular season in 84 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.

Tight end Josh Oliver, who was signed via free agency during the off-season, currently wears No. 84. However, his impact in the number will likely never reach that of wide receiver Randy Moss, who wore the number for 13 seasons.

With 84 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to wear No. 84 with the Vikings (via Pro Football Reference):
