Barry Wilner of The Associated Press produced an “All-Risers Team” and an “All-Prove It Team.” The Vikings had two players land on the “All-Risers” and did not have a player placed on notice, although Wilner did note Everson Griffen “showed his stuff as a sackmaster in Minnesota” in 2014, Griffen’s first year as a starter, in introducing the players who need to show more.
As for the two Vikings looking to build on strong 2014 seasons on the “All-Risers,” Wilner wrote:
(Sharrif) Floyd comes off a solid second season and seems ready for some dominating performances.
