This is the first year in my life of being a Vikings fan without my Dad. He's gonna be celebrating in heaven when the Vikes shock the world and win their 1st Superbowl. He's been a superfan since he was a kid in the 60s. SKOL

As a Vikings fan who loves the Hitman, and agrees with the sentiment that we are always underrated and our top players aren't appreciated enough, Harry has been acknowledged and not been underrated. Always been talked about as one of the best, has had a 97 madden rating, PFF has ranked him as 2, etc. While I agree he's been under-talked about, I don't think he's ever been underrated. But agreed, dude is a stud.

Just 48 hours ago… they were talking about being sellers, now they may be buying. 4 close losses to the Chiefs, Eagles, Chargers, and Bucs where the offense has average 3 TOs a game inside the opponent’s 5. As you saw last night, when that is cleaned up and POINTS (regardless of FGs or TDs) are put up, this team is dangerous.

Anyone who has actually watched the Vikings. Knew they beat themselves against Philly, KC, & the Chargers. Brian Flores has improved the defense, Addison is a legit counterpart to JJ, and the O-Line is improving every game. The Vikings are 3-4 having played a brutal opening schedule. If they take it a game at a time, and cut down on the mistakes. Minnesota can salvage their season.

You don't get that combo alot in players, Just an animal.
I had been watching him since Notre Dame. I saw he was a huge play maker. When we moved up to snatch him in the draft that year I was running around the house screaming because I knew who we just drafted was one talented player. There was a hit he put on the lions WR Calvin Johnson in the end zone I think his second year (not positive). Calvin ran a post , I believe ,and he caught the ballin the back of the end zone right between the posts, and literally within a millisecond The Hit Man laid the iron on Calvin jarring the ball out. It was epic! It was a for sure TD but Harry laid him out like lion hunting it’s pray. If they hadn’t changed the rules and ruined it for safeties and alike , we would have a highlight reel a mile long of him laying out WR’s, TE’s, anything and everything! Unfortunately it ended up being bad timing for his era. I call him the game wrecker along with Hitman Harry. I wanna see him play more years. I pray you stay healthy so I can see you take the nuts off and turn your pray into a scared child. SKOLVIKING FOREVER. #22!
I’m 18 years old and I’ve been a Vikings fan my whole life and it feels like he’s always been on the team running rampant on the league. When asked if he’s staying with the vikes this year he simply responded with a photo of Prince. #22 the most loyal player in the league, love you Harry Hit Man.
love this guy, He's been one of my absolute favs since we first got him. I miss the "Hit Man" hard hits, but I understand the changes to the game. was so glad he took a pay-cut to stay with the Vikes. He has always been a underrated Safety.

It's so crazy to me to see Hitman doing interviews now-a-days. For the first 3/4 of his career you could tell he despised post-game interviews.
Not a vikings fan. But being a safety in what now feels like a past life. I've always enjoyed watching this cat play. Not to many play the middle of the field with the tenacity of this guy.
Harry The Hitman is the man in Minnesota
10:19 FOR THE LAST TIME, IT’S DUCK, DUCK, GRAY DUCK! Love the show Pat. Keep it up.

ngl, this dude is awesome. I don't think anyone has had it harder and had to change more of their game than the safeties, so to get a prospective of their thoughts is really cool
Partly I think that the 2009 Saints are to blame for placing bounty's and trying to hurt people and take them out of the game has a lot to do with the changes.

Harry is the old guy on the team and he's in on damn near every tackle! What a machine!
The early fair catch was smart. Wait til 3rd play from scrimmage to turn it over.
This man is so fricken wise. I adore this man.
