Vikings ZERO Pro Bowlers

Kwesi accomplishments keep racking up.

Pro-bowl is a joke. Van Ginkel is one of the best edge/coverage LBs in the game. Cash and Wilson are stud LBs. Redmond has been elite. Our whole D is playing so well, but without the wins, most fans just buy the narrative and think everything is awful.

Kwesi accomplishments keep racking up.

A dubious distinction we share with only the Jets and Saints. 

...oh, and that Kyle Hamilton guy made it again.

They have ruined the Pro Bowl. Fans have NO business voting on who makes the Pro Bowl. Should be coaches and players. PERIOD. Screw the sports media too. Means NOTHING now.

The Assassin should have been there, maybe Gink. But I dont know what % of time Gink missed?

Not sure anyone else really?

Ending the year on a down-note for me. Most disappointed in both lines this year and not having a handle on the QB position.

Best laid plans...

Good luck finding a healthy one. Vikings had 7 Pro Bowlers last year.

Did Isaiah Rodgers get any votes? Think he scored two defensive TDs, had an INT, blocked one or two kicks? Forced a couple fumbles?

Been 11 years since the Vikings don’t have a single Pro Bowl selection.

This is just the third team in franchise history without a Pro Bowl player, joining 2014 and 1983.

It’s bad company for this disappointing Vikings season that began with one of the NFL’s most expensive rosters — with over $300 million in cash spending — and a mantra that more was required to achieve this regime’s first playoff victory.

Coaches and players stumped for candidates such as defensive tackle Jalen Redmond and kicker Will Reichard, who finished third among NFC kickers in fan voting (the only results that are made public). But Cowboys kicker Brandon Aubrey got the nod over Reichard, who has made 27 of 29 field goals this year.

Reichard, Redmond and other Vikings are likely alternates, which fullback C.J. Ham has been every year behind the 49ers’ Kyle Juszczyk, who made another Pro Bowl this season.

For receiver Justin Jefferson, this is just the second time in his six-year career that he has missed the cut. A star-studded, 28th-ranked Vikings offense is still trying to get him over the 1,000-yard mark.

He is 83 yards shy entering Thursday’s Christmas Day kickoff against the Detroit Lions. His sixth consecutive 1,000-yard season would be a consolation prize, of sorts, for Jefferson.

The Vikings’ star power on defense — edge rushers Jonathan Greenard and Andrew Van Ginkel, among them — dealt with injuries that undercut their seasons. Cornerback Byron Murphy Jr. did not have an interception until this past game against the Giants.

Linebacker Eric Wilson deserved some attention with a team-leading 16 tackles for losses and 6½ sacks, but only two inside linebackers make each Pro Bowl roster. This year, the NFC representatives are the Lions’ Jack Campbell and the Eagles’ Zack Baun.
