***

The San Francisco 49ers paced the league with nine players. Eight of those players were selected as starters. I guess all those voters ignored what Jordan Addison did to Charvarius Ward. The Baltimore Ravens and Dallas Cowboys had seven players. 

Four teams had no Pro Bowl players. 

Green Bay Packers
Carolina Panthers
Washington Commanders
New England Patriots

It’s been a while since the Packers and Patriots were shut out of the Pro Bowl. 

The Minnesota Vikings have two players on the NFC roster.

Danielle Hunter, OLB
Andrew DePaola, Long Snapper

Several more Vikings  earned spots as alternates.

First alternates:
C.J. Ham, FB
T.J. Hockenson, TE

Second alternate:
Josh Metellus, S

Third alternate:
Garrett Bradbury, C

Fourth alternate:
Christian Darrisaw, OT
Harrison Smith, S

If one excludes Sunday’s game against the Green Bay Packers (and the Pro Bowl voting does), there isn’t an offensive tackle in the league that was more impressive this year than Christian Darrisaw. Trent Williams and Lane Johnson would make the Pro Bowl even if they sat out the season. They make it annually on reputation alone. 

Considering the number of players that sit out the Pro Bowl festivities, many of the Vikings alternates will eventually be added to the Pro Bowl roster.
