3 Vikings make Pro Bowl, including Dalvin Cook

The Vikings had three players named to the Pro Bowl for the 2019 season.

Defensive end Danielle Hunter, safety Harrison Smith and running back Dalvin Cook will represent the Vikings.

For Hunter, this is his second-straight selection. He has 13.5 sacks on the season and just one away from his career-high mark of 14.5 that he hit last season. Earlier this season, he became the youngest player in NFL history to reach the 50-sack mark.

For Smith, this is his fifth-straight appearance on the list. He has 11 passes defended and a career-high two forced fumbles this season.

And for Cook, this is his first selection. Cook has been on a cold streak lately, going seven weeks without a 100-yard game. But his overall numbers are solid, rushing for 1,135 yards and 13 touchdowns to go with 53 catches for 519 yards.

A few players who probably should have gotten a look for the Pro Bowl include Kirk Cousins, Eric Kendricks and Anthony Harris.

We’ll have more about them in another piece.
