Hartman: Linval Joseph's Pro Bowl Invite Long Overdue
A week from Sunday, five Vikings will be participating in the 2017 Pro Bowl in Orlando, Florida.Two of Minnesota’s invitees accepted first-time invites to the all-star game, including nose tackle Linval Joseph, who was initially an alternate.
The Star Tribune’s Sid Hartman said this week that Joseph’s Pro Bowl nod was long overdue. Hartman wrote:
Joseph finished the year with a career-high 77 tackles and tied a career high with four sacks. Still it was his play in the run game, which sometimes goes unnoticed compared to the great pass rushers the Vikings employ, that helped him nab his first Pro Bowl selection last week.
