Gary Anderson, Jared Allen Among Preliminary Nominees For 2022 Hall Of Fame Class

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — The Pro Football Hall of Fame released its preliminary list of 122 nominees for the 2022 class, and some fan favorite Vikings are among the names.

Perhaps the biggest names are two defensive lineman — Jared Allen and Kevin Williams. The two played in the trenches alongside each other for six seasons in Minnesota.

Allen racked up 85.5 sacks during his time with the Vikings, and has a career total of 136. He nearly broke the single season sack record in 2011, falling half a sack short.
