A 6'4", 240 lbs. tight end from West Chester University, Senser was selected in the sixth round of the 1979 NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings.
He ranks third in Vikings history among tight ends for catches (165) and touchdowns (16), and earned a berth in the Pro Bowl after the 1981 season. He played in all sixteen games in 1981, setting career highs in receptions (79), yards (1,004), yards per catch (12.7) and touchdowns (8)[1]
