Proprietor note: We have to claim ignorance on this one. We had no idea who this was. So it was educational and entertaining! Carry on, Stu:

Name: Willie Teal

Claim to Fame, Minnesota: a 2nd-round pick out of LSU, Teal played DB for the Vikings from 1981 through 1986. His career numbers are plenty fine, but is probably best remembered as the last Viking to not tackle Tony Dorsett during Dorsett’s NFL-record 99-yard touchdown run.

Claim to Fame, Everywhere Else: you mean besides the aforementioned appearance in an NFL Films staple? Well, it says here that he was all-SEC in 1978 and 1979, and was LSU’s defensive MVP and co-captain in his senior year.

Where He Is Now: if you follow the previous link, you’ll see that he appears to run Teal Office Products, Inc., in Baton Rouge. The company doesn’t appear to have its own website, but as we’ve seen with Dunder Mifflin Infinity, that’s not necessarily a bad thing.

Glorious Randomness: there’s not a heckuva lot out there for Willie, so I open the comments to discussion of The Office and/or why NFL Films hates the Minnesota Vikings so much.
