NFL Careers

Both Glenn and Jones have been constant starters for their respective franchises. Glenn has started in all 72 of his NFL appearances, while Jones has started 59 of his 80 games. He became a starter in 2014 and has held the job ever since.

Boykin has never had a problem in getting on the field, but it’s always been as a backup. he did intercept six passes in 2013 however.

Blair Walsh was the Vikings main kicker up until week ten in 2016 when they released him after missing four field goals and extra points each.
