The Vikings have been inconsistent in 2020, but there have been some players who have shined throughout the 1-3 start.
So it makes sense that despite the team’s record, Minnesota was well represented on PFF’s First-Quarter NFL All-Pro Team. Minnesota wideout Justin Jefferson earned first-team honors, while Adam Thielen was a second-team wide receiver.
No surprise here: Minnesota running back Dalvin Cook takes home first-team All-Pro honors from PFF. Here’s what the outlet said about Cook:
“Every time you watch Cook play, you see him generating yardage that wasn’t there from the play design or blocking and only happened because he made a guy miss, attacked a soft shoulder, or took the right angle with his running. His grade has improved each week of the season, and after a month of play, he has four straight games with a rushing average of over 4 yards per attempt, despite some awful blocking in that period.”
The other selection was Vikings safety Harrison Smith, who earned second-team accolades.
