Congratulations to C.J. Ham on an outstanding NFL career, officially retiring as a member of the Minnesota Vikings.
Ham’s journey was never about hype or headlines—it was about reliability, toughness, and selflessness. An undrafted free agent who earned everything the hard way, he became one of the league’s most respected fullbacks and a cornerstone of the Vikings’ offense for nearly a decade.
From lead blocking and pass protection to special teams and locker-room leadership, Ham did the dirty work that doesn’t always show up in the box score—but absolutely shows up on film and in wins. He was a constant for multiple coaching staffs, schemes, and quarterbacks, trusted because he did his job the right way every single snap.
Retiring in purple feels right. His impact on the field, in the locker room, and in the community will be felt long after the final snap.
Skol, C.J. Ham — and congratulations on a truly wonderful career.
