Rudolph was drafted in the 2nd round of the 2011 draft out of Notre Dame, and he played for 10 years in Minnesota, racking up "4,488 yards to rank second on the franchise's career list for tight ends behind Steve Jordan. Rudolph's 48 touchdowns are the most among tight ends and sixth overall in Vikings history."

Rudolph was a fixture with the Minnesota Vikings both on and off the field. Vikings.com has a great article on Kyle and what he has done both on and off the field, and in fact now that he is retired, he plans on doing more charitable work. "The three-time Vikings Community Man of the Year has partnered with former Minnesota Wild wing Jason Zucker on alltroo.com, which is also joining forces with the Minnesota Vikings Foundation to expand philanthropic efforts."

Now Kyle isn't completely leaving football behind as Vikings.com reported he will help out with some college football games on Peacock, and "is co-hosting FOX Football Sunday for FOX Sports Radio."

After leaving the Vikings in 2021, Rudolph played for the New York Giants and the Tampa Bay Buccaneers.
