In today's Immaculate Grid, we'll examine NFL players who have experience with both the Dallas Cowboys and the Minnesota Vikings.
Two of the NFL's most storied teams are the Cowboys and Vikings, and we will focus on two noteworthy players who played for both clubs.
NFL wide receiver Lance Rentzel is a former member of the Dallas Cowboys, Los Angeles Rams, and Minnesota Vikings.
Rentzel was chosen by the Vikings in the first round of the 1965 NFL Draft, but he starred for the Cowboys from 1967 to 1970, where he enjoyed the best stint of his career. Rentzel was a crucial component of Dallas' attack and provided Roger Staubach, a renowned quarterback, with an excellent target.
