As we continue to put a bow on the 2022 National Football League season, Pro Football Focus released their annual 101 best players from the 2022 season.
Sam Monson of PFF goes through both the film and their data to see who were the best players from the 2022 season and the representation for the Minnesota Vikings was strong with seven players represented.
Here is the criteria from PFF.
• This list is based solely on play in 2022. Past or future play is not accounted for. This isn’t about class or talent; it’s about performance throughout the 2022 NFL season.
• This list is created with an “all positions are created equal” mantra. So, you won’t see 32 quarterbacks heading the list, even though that is the game’s most valuable position. Instead, we take a look at how guys played relative to what is expected from their position.
• Unlike PFF’s awards, the 101 factors in the postseason, so some players who won PFF awards may find themselves jumped in the 101 by rivals who had a playoff run worthy of a change in ranking.
