Ron Vander Kelen was the MVP of the 1963 Rose Bowl after leading his Wisconsin Badgers to a dramatic victory over USC. That fall, he made the Vikings roster as an undrafted rookie. Vander Kelen backed up Fran Tarkenton for four years, appearing in 18 games from 1963-1966. When Tarkenton was traded to the Giants following the 1966 season, Vander Kelen was given a chance to compete for the starting quarterback job. He won the gig, but after starting the season 0-3 he was replaced by Joe Kapp.
