Vikings to induct late coach Dennis Green into Ring of Honor

The Minnesota Vikings will induct the late Dennis Green into their Ring of Honor Sept. 23 at halftime versus the Buffalo Bills, the club announced.

Green served as head coach of the Vikings from 1992-01, guiding the team to four division titles and eight playoff appearances.

"Dennis Green's impact on the Minnesota Vikings, and really the entire NFL, is still felt to this day," Vikings president Mark Wilf said in a statement. "In addition to being widely regarded as one of the NFL's top coaches, Denny was also known as a great mentor and leader by all who had the fortune of being in his presence. We're extremely honored to forever memorialize Denny and his family in the Vikings Ring of Honor and we're looking forward to the induction in September."

Green died July 21, 2016 at the age of 67 due to complications from cardiac arrest. Many of his former players have since spoken about the impact Green had on their lives, including Randy Moss.
