| Biography: |
The Vikings made a terrific move in picking up veteran middle linebacker Greg Biekert, who was released by the Oakland Raiders in what was primarily a cost-cutting move. Biekert was acquired on Sept. 3, 2002, and started the Vikings’ season opener five days later.
A tremendous leader, Biekert was the heart and soul of the Raiders' defense before coming to Minnesota and became just that for the Vikings. He is their most experienced defender with 160 games played and 139 starts, including 105 consecutive starts.
2002: Led the Vikings with 147 tackles and four interceptions, including two against Green Bay (11/17). Started every game, and quickly established himself as a leader that gets defenses lined up properly.
2001: Led Oakland with 108 tackles, and added four sacks.
Previous years: Led Oakland in tackles from 1998-2001. After being drafted in the seventh round of the 1993 draft, Biekert spent nine years in Oakland before being released in 2002 as a salary-cap move and to make room for first-round draft choice Napolean Harris. Has 16 career sacks.
College: Was a four-year letterman at Colorado, where he was a Butkus Award finalist after posting 137 tackles his senior year. Finished his college career as the Buffaloes’ leader in solo tackles (280) and second in total tackles (441).
Born in Iowa City, Iowa, and played high school ball at Longmont (Colo.) High, where he also earned two letters as a wrestler. Married with three daughters.
