Biography:
If Brian Russell’s story seems similar to Robert Griffith’s bio, that’s because it is. At least until the part where Griffith becomes a Pro Bowl player. Both went to San Diego State, and the two worked out together before Russell ever became a Viking. Like Griffith, Russell came to the Vikings as an undrafted rookie free agent. Eventually, he got the chance to start in 2002, but Russell couldn’t hold that position.

2002: Started two games at strong safety and played in all 16 during his first season on the active roster. Finished with 16 tackles on defense and 15 on special teams.

2001: Spent the entire season on the practice squad.

College: Made the switch from quarterback to safety during his junior season at San Diego State. Played 11 games at free safety his senior year, registering 68 tackles, fourth on the team.
