Minnesota Vikings players split among Pro Bowl teams

The draft to determine who will play for each team during the 2016 Pro Bowl was held last night, and it turns out that the 5 representatives from the Minnesota Vikings will be separated for the game.

For this year’s Pro Bowl, the team captains were two Pro Football Hall of Fame wide receivers: Dallas Cowboys star Michael Irvin and San Francisco 49ers legend Jerry Rice. 34 players, mostly offensive and defensive linemen and none of which were Vikings players, were drafted prior to the event, leaving the more notable superstars around the league to have their names called during the live event.
