RIP Keith Nord (61)
The Minnesota Vikings are sending their condolences to the friends and family of former defensive back Keith Nord, who passed away Wednesday morning at the age of 61.
A Minnesota native, Nord was a standout quarterback at Minnetonka High School who stayed in-state for college when St. Cloud State University gave the 5-foot-9, 150-pound athlete a shot.
Nord may have been small, but he proved to many that he belonged on the football field. He eventually switched to defensive back and made up for what he lacked in physical size with tenacity.
Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Sorry to hear that. Remember watching Keith play for the Vikings when i was a child.
Aw, man... that is gut-punchingly sad news. God bless his family and friends.
He was a great player, especially on special teams. He gave everything he had as a Viking. He's definitely on my list of all time favorite Vikings. Blessings and prayers to his family. RIP Keith Nord.
