FRAN TARKENTON'S BIO
Tarkenton played for the Giants from 1967-71. Originally with the Minnesota Vikings in 1961, he moved to the Giants in 1967 and back to the Vikings in 1972 in stunning trades. He retired as the NFL’s record holder for career passing yards with 47,003. An elusive scrambler, Tarkenton rushed for 3,674 yards and 32 touchdowns. A four-time All-NFL and nine-time Pro Bowl selection, he led the Vikings to Super Bowl appearances in 1973, 1974 and 1976.
