Maybe Hall of Famer Carl Eller really is the answer for the Vikings at the defensive end position.

According to the Minneapolis Star Tribune, officers attempting to arrest Eller on Wednesday morning attempted to use a Taser gun on him . . . but it didn’t stop him.

Eller reportedly hit the officers in the face “several times” and threatened to kill them.  Eller threw one of them onto the hood of his SUV, and the officers “feared for their lives.”

“They were in the fight of their lives,” police inspector Mike Martin said at a press conference.  “They were in distress . . . you could hear them screaming on the tape, ‘We need another car here.  We need help here.’”

Eller was subdued only after three more officers arrived, and one put him in a neck hold.
