The folks over at Pro Football Focus put together a list that you’d rather not be on. Well, I guess, maybe you would depending on the expectations for yourself.
PFF put out its One-Year Wonder Team based on players who had one really good season since 2006, but could never quite claim that same success again.
The Vikings have two players on the list. One is out of the league entirely, and one just made the Pro Bowl last season.
First, let’s cover 2013 first-round pick Sharrif Floyd. For the success he had during the 2014 season. Floyd finished with a PFF grade of 84.2 that season. His fall off, of course, wasn’t necessarily due to skill. Floyd’s career came to an end after the 2016 season due to a knee injury.
The other Viking on the list is linebacker Anthony Barr. In 2015, Barr had a PFF grade of 90. Since then, however, Barr’s best grade has been 70.5. Last season, Barr had a grade of just 56.3, the second-worst mark of his career.
