76 days until Vikings season opener: Every player to wear No. 76

It’s the final countdown…

Well, sort of.

The Minnesota Vikings will kick off their 2023 regular season in 76 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.

T.Y. McGill and Jaylen Twyman wore the number most recently, but the number is known for Steve Hutchinson and Tim Irwin, who both wore the number for an extended period.

With 76 days until kickoff, here’s a look at every player to wear No. 76 with the Vikings (via Pro Football Reference):
