A former shot put champion in the Big 10, Bill Brown used his power to become a four-time Pro Bowler in a career that was spent mostly with the Vikings.  Brown rushed for over 5,000 Yards and still holds the Vikings record for most consecutive games by a Running Back and the most Rushing Attempts.  Brown may not have the Yards/Rush in comparison to later Vikings Backs, but his Touchdown production is impressive for any player of any era.

Minnesota selected Brown for their Ring of Honor in 2004.
