C.J. Ham Hints At Retirement After Vikings' Victory Over Packers

Yesterday, the Minnesota Vikings finished their 2025 season by beating the Green Bay Packers 16-3. While the game itself was interesting to watch if you are a Vikings fan, it was after the game that had me more interested. From the video I just watched, it certainly seems like at least one Minnesota Viking will be hanging up their shoulder pads for good.

From Duluth To The NFL

C.J. Ham, the Minnesota Vikings Fullback and Duluth Denfeld graduate, got the chance to speak to the locker room after the 16-3 win over the Green Bay Packers, and from what he said, it seems like he will be retiring in the offseason.

Pro-Bowl Award Winner

Ham is a two-time Pro-Bowl selection, earning those honors in 2019 and in 2023.

Official Paperwork Coming?

Of course, if Ham is done, we will likely know after the Super Bowl when most of the announcements, like retirement, are shared via the team/NFL.
