Former Vikings wide receiver and current NFL Network personality Nate Burleson ranked his top-5 teammates during his career over at NFL.com.
Three former Vikings appear on the list.
Quarterback Daunte Culpepper is listed at No. 5, cornerback Antoine Winfield was No. 4 and wide receiver Randy Moss was listed No. 1.
Burleson played with the Vikings from 2003-2005 after being drafted in the third round out of Nevada. In 2004, he had the best season of his career, finishing with 68 catches for 1,006 yards and nine touchdowns.
Here’s a bit of what Burleson wrote about Moss:
Seriously, I would line up next to him, look at the DBs guarding him, and they were already on their heels. Moss already won and the play hadn’t even started. Hands down the most natural and physically gifted athlete I ever played with.
Burleson only played two seasons with Moss, but in those two seasons Moss had a combined 2,399 receiving yards and 30 touchdowns. Not bad.
