The Minnesota Vikings are winning games and several of their best players are starting to get big-time media run as a result.

As great as it is seeing Stefon Diggs, Harrison Smith and Everson Griffen become national stars, let’s not forget about the unsung players who are also getting it done for the purple.

These guys aren’t getting much love either from the media or the fans and I want to do my small part to rectify that situation.

I’ve picked out five Vikings who I think deserve a pat on the back for the way they’ve performed during the Vikings’ run to relevance in the NFC.

True fans understand how important these players have been. And their coaches and teammates definitely appreciate their major contribution to the 5-2 start.
