Harrison Smith’s Hall of Fame case could get a major lift from Vikings

Chris Schad of The Viking Age argues that a potential championship run with the undefeated Minnesota Vikings could solidify safety Harrison Smith's Hall of Fame credentials. Smith sealed Minnesota's 16-10 victory over the Indianapolis Colts with his 40th career interception, joining Ronde Barber and Charles Woodson as the only players in NFL history with at least 40 interceptions and 20 sacks.

Schad notes that while Smith boasts remarkable longevity across 15 seasons in Minnesota, a lack of deep playoff runs and national recognition has previously complicated his Hall of Fame case. Head coach Kevin O'Connell praised the veteran safety's leadership as the 6-0 Vikings pursue a potential Super Bowl run.
