(KNOX) – Former University of North Dakota and Minnesota Vikings tight end Jim Kleinsasser is a nominee for The National Football Foundation and College Football Hall of Fame.
Kleinsasser was voted a First Team All-American by three publications in 1998 and was a first team member by two publications in 1997 while at UND. He caught 10 touchdown passes… including a memorable 77-yard runway against NDSU.
Kleinsasser secured First Team All-North Central Conference honors in 1996, 1997 and 1998 and remains the highest drafted UND player to be selected in the NFL Draft.
Kleinsasser was drafted 44th overall in 1999 by the Minnesota Vikings. He played for the Vikings from 1999 to 2011, before retiring at the end of the 2011 season.
