The one-time Minnesota Vikings standout, Xavier Rhodes, endured arguably the worst season of his career in 2019, which has left his long-term place with the franchise up in the air heading into the offseason.
Despite this, he was named as a replacement for this year’s Pro Bowl on Sunday alongside fellow teammates Kirk Cousins, C.J. Ham, Everson Griffen, and All-Pro Eric Kendricks, an announcement that was met with surprise by most who had seen Rhodes play this season.
The former first-round pick out of Florida State has suffered a tremendous fall from grace over the last two campaigns, seeing his production and overall influence decrease considerably thanks to a series of lackluster displays.
