PFF Pro Bowl Roster -- NFC

Post by dead_poet »

Four Vikings make it.
Centers: John Sullivan (MIN) and Will Montgomery (WAS)

Ever since the light went on for Sullivan last season he has been the league’s most consistent center and his inclusion was a no brainer with him leading Adrian Peterson to a 6.4 yard per carry average on A-gap carries
Running Backs: Adrian Peterson (MIN), Marshawn Lynch (SEA) and Alfred Morris (WAS)

There could only be one man to lead the backfield for the NFC in this year’s Pro Bowl and that is of course Adrian Peterson. Still in the reckoning to set a new NFL single season rushing record his yards AFTER contact this season would rank him 8th in the NFL in rushing if it were his total rushing yardage.
Wide Receivers: Calvin Johnson (DET), Brandon Marshall (CHI), Vincent Jackson (TB) and Percy Harvin (MIN)

The fourth spot was a tough call but in spite of missing almost half the season we simply couldn’t overlook the impact of Harvin on an anemic Vikings’ passing game in the first half of the season. Roddy White, who just misses out, has only just surpassed Harvin’s receiving grade in spite of playing more than twice as many snaps and Harvin’s 1400+ all purpose yards from little more than eight games is simply too much to ignore.
Special Teams

Kicker: Blair Walsh (MIN)

I agree with most of the picks but I am wondering where Felton finishes in the voting with the great job that he has done at fullback?
Do not mistake KINDNESS for WEAKNESS!

Good question. He was surprisingly on PFF "Bad Day: Week 15" with his -1.1 grade, though they did say it was pretty ticky-tack.
We’ve seen a lot worse displays not make this team, and in a week where fullback play didn’t stand out for good or bad, Felton can consider himself unlucky to get called out.

I'm not a premium subscriber so I can't see where he ranks overall.
