Vikings Announce Jersey Numbers For 2021 Rookie Draft Class Let's take a look at the history and aesthetics of these numbers for the Minnesota Vikings' 11 drafted rookies. Author: May 4, 2021 We already knew a few of them, but now we've got all of them. The Vikings officially announced the jersey numbers for their entire 11-member 2021 draft class on Tuesday. Let's go through each one, note some previous Vikings who have held that number, and make a snap reaction based on history and aesthetics. LT Christian Darrisaw — 71 Notable former Vikings: David Dixon, Phil Loadholt, Riley Reiff, Doug Davis Darrisaw is replacing Reiff as the Vikings' left tackle, so it works out for him to take Reiff's old number. Darrisaw wore 77 at Virginia Tech, but that number is retired in Minnesota for the late Korey Stringer, so 71 is the next-best thing. This is a strong choice.
