I know he played for a couple teams, but convicted rapist Darren Sharper was a former Viking, and one of the sickest NFL alum I remember.
That said, I don't fault the franchises for the personal conduct of it's employees tho. Sharper aside, I generally have a positive view of the Vikings organization..

Carolina at #26 is no surprise. After the Rae Curruth nightmare, the old owner Jerry Richardson was adamant about avoiding players with any hint of character issues. Unfortunately, we had one of the worst offenders in Greg Hardy but overall the team has stayed relatively clean as far as arrests.
I'd be interested, if you take out domestic issues.. What the arrest numbers look like.
That's probably the biggest problem and.. SOME of it is just BS. Look, Ray Rice situation aside.. many are situations where a baby momma shows up yelling and screaming and then claims she was hit.. Truthfully or not.
Certainly not saying every situation is like that, but NFL players, especially, seem to have that situation ALL THE TIME.
The other big problem is generally entitlement. They get pulled over for speeding and then it's almost a "Do you know who I am?" situation
Followed, i'd say, by DUI issues.
Speaking of Rae Carruth, who is just a waste of humanity basically.. I don't really recall him having any issues before killing the woman, or having her killed. He wasn't a Pacman Jones type deal. I actually thought he had kinda matured, but reading up on him.. He got a charge in 2017 of "felony charge of harassment with a bodily substance.".. Dude.. WTF? I certainly hope he just spit on someone.

Interesting in threads like this or in online sports discussions the Cowboys are always portrayed as thugs and criminals. Hmmmm. Don't look so bad compared to the crappy pub they get.
On the bright side for the Vikings, the other tBrowns must be the team with the most player pending legal cases since they signed Watson.
