50. Eric Kendricks

Eric Kendricks joined the Vikings as a Second Round Pick from UCLA in 2015, and he would win the starting job at Middle Linebacker as a rookie.

Kendricks had his first 100-Tackle year in 2016, and every year after in a Vikings uniform, he never had less than three digits in that stat. His best season in Minnesota was in 2019, where he was both a Pro Bowl and First Team All-Pro Selection, and established himself as one of the best interior lineman in the NFC North.

The Vikings released Kendricks after the 2022 Season, and he signed with the Los Angeles Chargers shortly after. With Minnesota, Kendricks had 915 Tackles and 15 Sacks.
