C.J. Ham (Special Teams)

Lead blocker, runner, receiver, pass protector, special teamer and purveyor of quality dad jokes, Ham has been selected as a captain for the fourth consecutive season.

Ham has been a stalwart in the Vikings backfield and on the special teams unit since arriving on the scene back in 2017.

Over his first seven seasons, Ham has compiled 635 receiving yards, 104 rushing yards, and 5 total touchdowns on offense while being a solid contributor on special teams as well.

Ham and the Vikings open up the 2024 season on Sunday when they take on the New York Giants on the road, a 12:00 Noon kickoff on FOX.
