You hear about unbreakable records all the time. Yeah yeah, they're unbreakable...until they're broken. But there is one NFL record that will likely never be broken: former Viking Paul Krause's 81 career interceptions is the most ever by an NFL player. 

The player with the most career interceptions of any active NFL player is 11-year veteran Harrison Smith with 34. To beat Krause, Harry, at his current pace, would have to play 27 years in the NFL.

Hard to say never,   Woodson was only 10 behind and they play in a more pass happy league now with 1 extra game per season which over the course of a 15 year career like Krause had thats almost one more season of games right there.

Still crazy impressive.

I’d say Cy Young’s wins and Pete Rose’s hits
records are far safer.

As soon as I saw the title, I thought “gotta be Krause”
