It’s the final countdown…
Well, sort of.
The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2023 regular season in 88 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 No. 88 has remained relatively dormant for the Minnesota Vikings. No one on the roster currently wears the number, and it hasn’t been worn in a game since 1987. The number will likely be mostly recognized for Alan Page, who wore it for 12 seasons.
With 88 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to wear No. 88 with the Vikings (via Pro Football Reference):
TE Marc May (1987)
WR Buster Rhymes (1985-1986)
TE Don Hasselbeck (1984)
WR Mardye McDole (1981-1983)
DT Alan Page (1967-1978)
WR Bob Lacey (1964)
WR Charley Ferguson (1962)
End Fred Murphy (1961)
