Wiggin flattered

Paul Wiggin, who has been with the Vikings since 1985, couldn't believe when he found out he'd be inducted into the College Football Hall of Fame on Saturday.
"It means a lot," Wiggin said. "The thing is that I never expected to be in this. Fifty years after I played college football and suddenly I get a FedEx that says I'm going to be in this Hall of Fame, and it just blew me away."

Consider two of the men he's going in with: Jerry Rice and John Gagliardi.

Wiggin certainly deserves the honor, who was voted Stanford's defensive player of the century by Cardinal fans and was All Pac-10 and a first-team All-America winner in 1955 and 1956.

Wiggin also coached at his alma mater, from 1980 to 1983, and he coached John Elway there.
