"Some people say we didn't deserve it? Whatever - fuck you. We deserved it." Greatest quote ever about the 98 Vikings made by #93.

[@bartsullivan4866]

Still makes me wonder how great a game that would have been against the Broncos for the Superbowl that year. What a matchup it could have been.

[@thedorklord8722]

My favorite player ever. He was scary, funny, amped, positive, lovable and an overall beast.

[@enragedfurbie128]

Same

[@chekov2398]

I had no idea he was almost cut, wow!

[@Mack_Worlds_Media]

Remember I had a demo disk with Nfl Extreme and Randle on the front. Good times

[@sweet_bippy2645]

I met him twice. He gave my nephew and I a tour of his place and signed my nephews football. Such an awesome guy! And he's definitely not a "smaller guy. "... dude was a BEAST!

[@jcdova29]

John Randle’s NFL story is an inspirational one. The man had to sneak weights to his body in order to weigh enough. Once he was given a chance the man was a monster.

[@Waararemerlin]

Insane

[@jackmiller-johnston8689]

John Randle was a VOLCANIC football player, who utalised being "short" to the absolute fullest. Being 6ft 1', he used his lower attacking point to destroy linemen from the bottom up on a weekly basis.

[@ock5458]

LEVERAGE KILLS

[@Ze_Moose]

Why did the Vikings let him go? 🤔

[@Storm-uo3wr]

He was a d-tackle not an end way better Warren Sapp check their stats and he plays with who? Nobody

[@StrangeTimesNear]

Not Larry Allen.

It’s amazing how many double digit sack numbers he had as a Defensive Tackle

[@reggiegarcia07]

He was so dominant it’s insane

Aaron Donald before AD. Dude was Lawrence Taylor like. Very underrated hall of famer.

I remember when Dilfer went after Randle after that play. Even the guys in the booth were laughing, incredulous that Dilfer would even dare 🤣😂🤣

[@removedot]

Should have gotten the Oscar that year

[@blackgator7549]

John Randle was country strong &, weight lifting strong simultaneously. 1of my favorite players of all-time.

[@ravenking6958]

as a packers fan, he was truly a 🐐

[@Krazyabe]

Best pass rushing DT I've seen. Guy was a beast

[@Blahblahblehblhah]

I think he is. I still have him at 5 all time at the defensive tackle position but he was a monster!

[@bradley8867]

I remember as a kid seeing him on the cover of NFL Xtreme 2,he had the cool face paint and was always an intimidating and great player

[@noone4479]

He was, and still is, one of my favorite players of all time. Such a shame he never won a SB.

[@brianbelden2449]

I firmly believe that Randle was the first ideal 3TECH/UT that guys like Dungy, Angelo, & L.Smith studied as a means to build their entire TAMPA 2 defensive scheme around for their base 4-3 seven man zone defense.

[@Nhamp2000]

Lions fan here. John Randle was one of my favorite opposing players. His determination, love for the game, his talent, and yeah, his mouth. Loved the mic'ed up John Randle.

[@mdstreeter1460]

I love that clip they show of him and the Lions: "Barry! Barry! Hey BARRY! I can't get no love? I can't get no love, Barry?" My two favorite players of all time.

[@Nhamp2000]

@mdstreeter1460 Yeah, that's one of my favorites too. Dude was a joy to watch.

[@yengyang1939]

Last year, my family and I had a chance to meet him at an autograph convention in Chicago. Great player and great guy.

[@dankestone8359]

As a 5 8 180 DT this was my favorite player that rip swim move was my stuff. John Randle was god level. Thanks for all the inspiration

[@aguywithaname7764]

As a bears fan I have all the respect in the world for John. Loved his style of play…he was a menace

[@razony]

Those we're the days. How I miss Minnesota playing defense like they did back when.

[@surferguy1974]

I wish he would've won a ring in '98!!! Man as a 49ers fan even I feel the pain Vikings fans had to embrace after that loss to Atlanta!

[@merakki]

Fast forward to today we're use to our teams stinking.

One of the most underrated great players

[@sideshowmel3767]

My all time favorite. High motor, high effort guy. I don’t think there will ever be another player like him.

[@SlayersGaming]

John Randle was an absolute BEAST! I honestly cannot think of any other word the best describes. There was no one like him at the time or even since that I can think of. He was a BEAST and now he's a HOFer. You earned it, big guy!

[@mikepalmer2219]

I like how it said it was an honor just to be on the field. So different than most players now days.

[@Criminalpresident45]

One of best Defense ends ever Randle and those 90s Vikings teams were tough wish they won it all in 98

[@TimAllen-fs2rg]

D Tackle actually .

[@packersauburneric3625]

As Packers fan growing up as young kid in the 90s him and Warren Sapp and Cortez Kennedy were the best those day and we need more NFL throwback from that era please !

[@rafaelgonzalez7230]

That’s a crazy 100th sack to do it on that linemen and that QB 😮

[@taytay8283]

Not against Larry Allen that was# 67 Everett McIver… Larry Allen #73

[@thealbinochimp]

0:28 Steve Young wasn't the same after he heard those words lol

[@robertgorsett1586]

buddy of mine was friends with Todd Bouman who was a backup QB for the vikes from 97-01 when I lived there. After home games on Sunday night we went out in Mpls with a ton of the players. Randle was a freaking great and fun guy to hang out with. bar bills at times were 10 to 20K and players(my measily 200 bucks) were all split up. it was fun times.

[@ericbnielsen]

Vikings fan here. Randle is still my favorite player of all time and one of the best trash talkers ever in the NFL. We could have used some one like him this year.

[@slyguythreeonetwonine3172]

"My favorite QB to sack was all of em!" My man!😂😂 Dear God wad he a bad one!😂😂😂

[@kurtwagner350]

YES!!! Finally some more defensive guys on this channel

[@seanwallace89]

Man was so ferocious they took his face paint away calling it "war paint" it made him too powerful for player's safety... the leagues insurance wouldn't cover it! Lol I loved this guy!

[@conradkostelecky7935]

The NFL tends to judge a player by all the physical traits they have but that doesn't judge a persons heart. John Randle was 260 lbs. of heart. Always good to see guys like Randle and another Viking Adam Thielen come from small programs undrafted with a great work ethic succeed.

[@soulessshadow5356]

I grew up on when Mr. Randle was towards the end of his career but I was old enough to remember how crazy watching him play was and I'm not even a Vikes fan.

[@chrisyentastic379]

I knew he was great, but I forgot he was a DT not an edge player. Just even scarier.

[@quieneselpatron790]

That Trent Dilfer part was hilarious

I’m glad they finally did a whole segment on you, the missing rings did you no justice. A legend for us d linemen as well as respect from the oline.

[@stanmcclure229]

John Randle was a good guy off the field. Would see him at the clubs in downtown Minneapolis, and he was always funny and cordial at the same time.

[@chriscalica4792]

John Randle was a very competitive and fast athlete who was underestimated and very fun to watch. His pyschological trash talk is intellectually creative and unmatched. Talk about getting into opponents mindset...

John Randall was in the 93 underactive and he played for the Seattle Seahawks and Vikings with randy moss

[@1Dub79]

A DT with the size (6’1”, 287lbs.), speed and quickness of a DE. He was so fast, quick and disruptive. Was a trash-talker, who kept a smile on his face.

[@kurtdorr8080]

His brother, Ervin, was a fantastic middle linebacker at Baylor and in the NFL too.

[@masterbulgokov]

_“I’ll kick your whole families’ ass! BUHAHAHA!”_ That’s gotta be my fave bit of trash talking ever. Bar none.

[@douglashall2141]

One of my favorite statements. Regulators Mount up. Famous line from me wonderful movie. And John Randall was the leader of those Regulators in Minnesota. John Randle, Lawrence Taylor, and Ray Lewis but fear into the hearts of the offensive coordinators and quarterbacks, and possibly some running backs.

[@dom_mob2668]

I love John Randle. He was so mean and dominant, but I knew he was cappin when he said he got his 100th sack against Larry Allen

[@abrahamwarner4408]

Randle also played for the Seahawks. The Seahawks drafted Byron Murphey, who's measurables and style are very similar to John Randle's. Let's hope that he has just as successful career.

[@slajmartin]

He was relentless player with the biggest heart for the game, he refused to be denied! Tasmanian devil with should pads on, feared and respected by QB's, they knew where he was lined up at all times! He is by far and away on of the best Vikings of all time, no one could match intensity.

For me, I feel he's the Kirby Puckett of the Vikings.
