Former Vikings fullback Chuck Evans died Sunday because of heart failure, according to the Mid-Atlantic Sports Network website. He was 41.
Evans, an 11th-round pick in 1992, played for the Vikings from 1993 to '98, starting on the 1998 team that went 15-1 and scored the most points by a team in a season (556) in league history.
Evans spent his final two NFL seasons (1999-2000) playing for former Vikings offensive coordinator Brian Billick with Baltimore before retiring. Evans was living in Sparks, Md., when he died.
