The NFC like 11 viking players ...Manning leading votes, Brees 2nd, and Favre third so far. http://www.nfl.com/probowl/story?id=09000d5d81448298&template=with-video-with-comments&confirm=true |
Last time 11 Vikings went to the Pro bowl was 1998 iirc.
Interestingly though last I heard 23 Vikings were in the top 5 of voting at their position. To a certain extent the Vikings do have an extremely talented roster worthy of recognition..but not 23 pro-bowl players. I think it obviously has a lot to do with Favre and the hype at the beginning of the season as people were wanting to see how he would play and now people wanting to see if he can sustain a phenomenal season.
Legit pro bowl Vikings are imo (not all necessarily absolutely should go, but guys who have a fair case to be made):
- Jared Allen
- Kevin Williams
- Pat Williams
- Percy Harvin
- Sidney Rice
- Visanthe Shiancoe
- Brett Favre
- Adrian Peterson
- Steve Hutchinson
- Bryant McKinnie
- Ryan Longwell
Other guys with a lot tougher argument, but could get in either as a last spot or alternate:
- Chestor Taylor
- Benny Sapp
- Bernard Berrian - (Would need to sustain his recent good work for the rest of the season)
- Ray Edwards
- Phil Loadholt
- John Sullivan
