Thomas Edward Hannon was a safety who played in nine seasons for the Minnesota Vikings. He was a starter in 103 of the 117 games he played for the Vikings, including every non-strike game in his last six NFL seasons. Hannon had 15 interceptions in his NFL career. [1] An interception was perhaps the top highlight of his career; he ran a first quarter interception back 41 yards for his only NFL touchdown in a 34-14 Vikings victory over the Chicago Bears in 1980. [2] Prior to playing in the pros, he was a four-year letterman at Michigan State. [3]
