Joey Browner, a former NFL star defensive back who spent most of his career with the Minnesota Vikings<\/a>, has died, the team announced on Sunday. He was 65.<\/p>\n

The Vikings selected Browner in the first round of the 1983 NFL Draft out of USC<\/a>. He worked his way up the depth chart to become a starter in his second season. By his third year with the Vikings, he was selected to his first Pro Bowl.<\/p>\n

Browner was a six-time Pro Bowler and a three-time First Team All-Pro selection. He was also named to the Pro Football Hall of Fame\u2019s All-1980s Team.<\/p>\n

“We’ve lost a great friend and one of the best Vikings teammates,” former Vikings star Steve Jordan said, via the Vikings\u2019 website<\/a>. “God blessed Joey with phenomenal talent and a big heart to love people and be a beacon of positivity. Truly, he will be missed.”<\/p>\n

Browner played nine years with the Vikings. He had 37 interceptions and 9.5 sacks in 138 games with the Vikings. Minnesota honored Browner by putting him into their Ring of Honor in 2013.<\/p>\n

One of his best seasons came in 1990. He played all 16 games for the Vikings that year and had a career-high seven interceptions.<\/p>\n

He appeared in six playoff games for the Vikings, but was never able to make it to the Super Bowl.<\/p>\n

He played seven games for the Tampa Bay Buccaneers<\/a> in 1992 before he retired from football.<\/p>\n
