I'm having a hard time thinking of white running backs! Was Franco Harris white?
Bill "Boom-Boom" Brown!
Bronco Nagurski.
Larry Csonka.
Jim Taylor.
I don't think I know him. Was he a Vike?
Robert Smith from the Vikes. He retired to become a doctor.
Randall Cunningham was always one of my favorite QB’s, as far as “White RB’s” I don’t have a favorite 🤷♂️
Rocky Bleier
IT CAN'T BE A TRUE PLAYOFF UNLESS THE BIG TEN CHAMPIONS ARE INCLUDED
George Halas says it was the worst trade he ever made. When "Boom-Boom" could no longer play in the backfield he played special teams at the end of his career and was very good.
When he was in the backfield he was known for his "second effort" he wold seemingly be stopped and he would surge forward for a couple of yards. My favorite Viking back in the day.
Geez...white and black players. That is not a good way to qualify players.
Christian McCaffery is pretty damn good.
Collecting 1970s Topps baseball wax, rack and cello packs, as well as PCGS graded Half Cents, Large Cents, Two Cent pieces and Three Cent Silver pieces.
For the QBs, I think I might put Warren Moon at the top. Followed by Cunningham and McNabb tied for 2nd.
I can say with sincerity that Vick would be in the conversation for one of the greatest of all time, not just on this list,if he had put in the work and study. He openly admits to not having really done either.
Running backs, I don't know. I was a big fan of John Riggins.
How about "crazy legs" Hurst(sp)?
Look up Hugh McElhenny. He was a Viking for a minute.
Watch until the end. BEST HOF induction speech ever.

Thank you for this. Awesome stuff.
I get a little misty whenever I watch his induction speech.
His nickname was "The King".
Elvis was the best!
He was 8-2 in 1997, but that was his best year.
Elroy “Crazy Legs” Hirsch! HOF Ram
