Viking QB Tommy Kramer with Browns Lyle Alzado reaching for him. This was from the 1980 game at the Met that the Vikings won on the miracle throw to Ahmed Rashad. Offensive Tackle Steve Riley is watching.
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)
#29 Karl Kassulke played safety for the Minnesota Vikings from 1963 through 1972. Karl was a hitter. The first photo is Karl in Super Bowl IV against KC Chiefs tackling running back Mike Garrett. The second photo is at the Vikings Colts Monday night game in 1971. If you get the chance, YouTube the November 15, 1970 game or highlights between the Vikings and the Detroit Lions. He destroyed Lions QB Greg Landry on a safety blitz. Laid him out. It looked like Landry had been shot. Karl was in a motorcycle accident the day before training camp started in 1973 which paralyzed him and ended his career. The 4th photo is Karl in a wheelchair at the Chicago Bears game in 1973 in which the Vikings honored Karl. Former Viking QB Joe Kapp is standing beside Karl as he speaks into a mic in the last photo. Karl passed away in 2008.
