Francis Tarkenton dropping back to pass. I'm guessing this is 1963. #20 behind Fran is running back Tommy Mason. Tommy was the Vikings #1 draft choice in 1961. Fran was drafted in the 3rd round. Just as an FYI, Middle Linebacker Rip Hawkins was the 2nd round draft choice. Pretty good hall for that first draft.

Clint Jones was a running back for the Minnesota Vikings. Played college ball for Michigan State. Was the Vikings 1967 #1 draft choice (one of three along with Gene Washington and Alan Page). The 2nd photo is from a 1967 preseason game against the NY Giants...3rd photo is a 1970 game against the Boston (New England) Patriots. the 4th is a sideline shot of Clint and Gene Washington at Metropolitan Stadium. The 5th is a mock up of a Topps 1970 football card showing a game in 1969 against the Cleveland Browns. The last photo shows QB Joe Kapp #11 handing off to Clint...I am going to guess that is a 1968 game agains the Packers in Milwaukee. (I can see the foul line of the back wall)

Minnesota Vikings

Paul Dickson, Jim Marshall, Gary Larson, Carl Eller, and Ed Sharockman waiting to go back in the game. The boys look hot...especially Carl. If I could guess, this is a game in 1967 or 1968.
