The Vikings will add a fourth player to join the 2019 Pro Bowl roster.
Joining safety Harrison Smith, defensive end Danielle Hunter and running back Dalvin Cook will be fullback C.J. Ham.
Ham’s agent, Blake Baratz, first gave the news last night.
And Just like that @cjham28 is in the Pro Bowl. Right where he should have been all along. Let’s Go! @TeamIFA

Ham will be a replacement for 49ers fullback Kyle Juszczyk, who will be playing in the Super Bowl.
In his third season with the Vikings, Ham was a huge part of the team’s refocused rushing attack, mostly as a blocker.
He was a decent part of the receiving game, though, catching 17 passes for 149 yards and a touchdown. He also ran seven times for 17 yards.
Per Pro Football Focus, Ham graded as the league’s fifth-best fullback out of 13 graded players with a grade of 63.7. That grade was nearly a 13-point increase from the 2018 season.
