Cris Carter had a Hall of Fame career with Minnesota alone

Cris Carter made it a point to be clinical whenever he stepped out onto an NFL field. No. 80 had one of the great careers for a receiver, and a very compelling argument could be made for him having a Hall of Fame career just as a Viking for 12 seasons, even though he spent the first three seasons of his career in Philadelphia and the last season of his storied career in Miami. 

The Pro Football Hall of Famer played for the Minnesota Vikings from 1990-2001. It was a 12-year stretch that will never be forgotten in the state of Minnesota. The former Ohio State Buckeye had eight 1,000-yard seasons in his 12 years playing for the Vikings. He caught 110 of his career 130 touchdowns in the Twin Cities. Aside from his first season in the purple and gold in 1990, Carter started every single game that he played in (177 games). He was the definition of durable as he played full seasons in 11 of his years all the way until his age-36 season in 2000. The Ohio native made eight consecutive Pro Bowls from 1993-2000. He also earned three All-Pro selections. The 6-3, 210-lb wide receiver always found a way to play bigger than the defender. His route-running was always elite and his explosiveness with his first step after the snap of the ball was quick. His ability to high-point the football and want it more than whoever was covering him made him one of the best receivers in NFL history. The duo of he and Randy Moss were unstoppable in the late 1990s and early 2000s. 

Carter would be named a Pro Football Hall of Famer in 2013. He was also named a member of the 1990 NFL All-Decade Team, along with a spot in the Minnesota Vikings Ring of Honor. His No. 80 jersey is retired and should never be touched again. The 1999 Walter Payton Man of the Year also had an eye for helping communities off the field. He was an amazing humanitarian during his time in Minneapolis and made it a point to not just affect the lives of people on the football field. His ability to help others off the field while performing so greatly on the field made him a Pro Football Hall of Famer, especially with the Vikings.
