Penalties are literally costing an under the radar Vikings stud an All-Pro nod

It's been a while since the Minnesota Vikings had a serious threat as a return man. Cordarrelle Patterson had sustained success, but since then, it's been more fleeting, with guys like Marcus Sherels and Kene Nwangwu having some good moments.

The league changing the kickoff rules to encourage more returns meant finding someone with some juice in the return game became critical for every team.

The Vikings have found their guy, as undrafted rookie Myles Price earned the role of returning kickoffs and punts during the preseason. Entering Week 10. he has the third-most kickoff return yards in the league (739) along with the ninth-most punt return yards (183).
