A pair of Vikings rookies was deemed good enough to earn a place on NFL.com’s midseason all-rookie team. And if you can’t guess who the two guys are, you haven’t been paying attention.

Of course, the two rookies on the all-rookie team are Scott Crichton and Antone Exum. Crichton has shown an amazing ability to hold down the bench while Exum has excelled at getting called for penalties on special teams.

But not Teddy Bridgewater? Hmm…
