Which Minnesota Vikings could earn first-team All-Pro honors in 2020?
The Minnesota Vikings might have made some big changes to their roster this offseason. But they are still in a strong position to push for the postseason.
Losing veteran players is something that comes with the territory every year in the NFL. The Vikings are never exempt from this and it will put additional pressure on more established stars to make their presence felt from the outset.
Minnesota still possesses a core base of individuals who are proven at the highest level. This will stand them in good stead ahead of a campaign that promises to look far different thanks to strict safety measures surrounding COVID-19. But what sort of impact a disrupted preparation period will have on Mike Zimmer’s men remains to be seen.
The new faces will need to lean on those who have been around the setup for a considerable period of time early on. But the first signs emanating from training camp have been encouraging.
If those senior players for the Vikings perform up to or surpass the level expected, then it could result in some individual recognition. The highest and most respected distinction is that of First-Team All-Pro. And there are plenty of roster members who will fancy their chances of being named among the NFL’s elite.
Who are four of Minnesota’s current players that should hold realistic ambitions of becoming an All-Pro in 2020?
