Individual Viking efforts honored

I haven't talked much about individual Vikings player achievements so I thought I would post something positive about the Vikings for a change. The Minnesota Vikings did have bright spots in the 8-8 season, and Associated Press All-Pro honors highlight some of the greatest individual efforts. Steve Hutchinson and Kevin Williams were both named first team All-Pro, while Adrian Peterson, Tony Richardson, Pat Williams and Darren Sharper were all selected to the second team.

Compared to other NFC North teams, the Vikings ranked first with six players while the Detroit Lions had no players voted All-Pro. No All-Pros on a team that was supposed to go 10-6 this season according to Jon Kitna? The Vikings six All-Pros was second to only the New England Patriots, who had nine overall. Way to go Vikes!
