Study Reveals Current “Face” of Vikings Franchise

The Minnesota Vikings have been skippered by head coach Mike Zimmer for seven full seasons. Only Harrison Smith and Adam Thielen have accompanied Zimmer for the entirety of the ride. Well, Kyle Rudolph has also carried the title of Zimmer disciple since 2014, but he left the Vikings via free agency for the New York Giants in March.

But none of that longevity equates to Zimmer, Smith, Thielen, or Rupdlph carrying the moniker “face of the franchise.” A study in February by Lines.com affirmed that Dalvin Cook is the most recognizable player on the Minnesota Vikings.
