Much has been made, once again, this year about the Minnesota Vikings still giving out the No. 84 jersey to their players to wear. Made famous by former Vikings star wide receiver Randy Moss, rookie tight end Irv Smith Jr. currently has the honor of wearing the number.
After it was announced that Smith would wear Moss’ former jersey number, some believed that Minnesota was disrespecting the Hall of Fame receiver by continuing to let other players wear the No. 84 on their uniform.
However, the former Vikings pass catcher recently revealed that he has no problem with Smith wearing his old number this season.
