Ed Sharockman played all eleven of his NFL seasons with the Minnesota Vikings and recorded 40 Interceptions.  The Cornerback is still in the top 30 all-time in Interception Return Yards and he secured six touchdowns over his career.
Daunte Culpepper has always been a polarizing Quarterback for some.  Culpepper put up some excellent statistics but he had Randy Moss to throw to.  The counter is that he was a man who could beat you with both his arm and his leg.

45. Tim Irwin

A Minnesota Viking for all but his final season, Tim Irwin patrolled the right side of Minnesota’s O-Line for over 180 Games.  The Right Tackle may never been a member of the Pro Bowl, but his solid and consistent presence was welcomed by Vikings QBs and RBs alike.
The “fourth” member of the Purple People Eaters, Gary Larsen’s role of the group was as the “policeman”, indicating that he was covering the run while his teammates were terrorizing the QB.  This didn’t mean that Larsen didn’t have his share of Quarterback pressure, as he had 38.5 (unofficial) Sacks and was named to two Pro Bowls.
