The Vikings have had some dominant DTs over the years, but Page has to be the best of them all...one of the best of all time. I think what separates Page from most of the pack, isn't his motor, his size, his determination, his consistency, his ability to make a play/tackle, but his IQ for the game. Bud said it best in the video, that Page "...wanted to always know the why...". I love that! You don't get better until you challenge the status quo and push your own limits and that was Page.

Just look at this list:

Thanks for posting the link! Vikings have 4 out of 25 top DT in nfl history! Page (3), Millard (7), Randle (8), and Williams (20). Just seeing the names brings fond memories of defensive past and team success!

Oh lord and we passed on Donald and Sapp lol!

I like the top 3 list a lot, cant help but wonder if there is some recency effect with Donald ranked where he is - and I admired his game too.
