Paul Krause was a ball-hawking safety who patrolled NFL secondaries from 1964 to 1979, first with Washington and then the Minnesota Vikings. Known for his uncanny instincts and soft hands, he intercepted 81 passes—a record that still stands. Krause anchored the “Purple People Eaters” defense through four Super Bowls and was inducted into the Pro Football Hall of Fame in 1998. Quiet but relentless, he turned reading quarterbacks into an art form. #nflhighlights | Gridiron Glory Days
