Former Vikings star Joe Senser dies at 69, leaving a community legacy
Joe Senser, a former Vikings tight end and longtime radio analyst, died at 69. A 1979 sixth-round pick, he posted a standout 1981 season with 79 receptions, 1,004 yards and eight touchdowns before a knee injury ended his playing career; he later worked in Vikings broadcasts (1993–94, 2001–06) and was remembered by owners and peers for his warmth, charity work, and impact on the franchise.
