ccraider99 Posted August 28, 2015 Report Share Posted August 28, 2015 Ross "Rip" Hawkins grew up in Cowan, TN. SAS high school North Carolina, 15th pick in expansion draft by Vikings in 1961. Middle linebacker. Selected as defensive captain his rookie year. 1963 pro bowler. Played 5 years. Still holds Vikings record for most tackles in single game. Retired in 1966. Became a professional bull rider. He passed away last month. Sounds like he had a great career sorry to hear of his passing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
