NFL.com went through each team in the league, predicting who their future first-time Pro Bowler will be.
For the Vikings, the outlet went with its safety who had to work his way up the depth chart in order to find success. Anthony Harris was the Minnesota player tabbed as a future first-time Pro Bowler by the outlet.
Here’s what NFL.com said about Harris:
“Pro Bowl voters were seemingly heavy into the spiked punch when they bypassed Harris a year ago. His six picks tied for the NFL lead, and he allowed zero touchdowns over 14 starts. These figures look even more impressive when you consider the disastrous handiwork of Minnesota’s cornerbacks in 2019. The Vikings have All-Pro Harrison Smith at the position, too, but they thought enough of Harris to drop the franchise tag on their undrafted gem this offseason. Repeat last year’s positive antics, and the greenbacks will flow.”
Honestly, the fact that Harris did not make the Pro Bowl last season, after he had six interceptions and missed very few tackles, shows how the system is flawed. We’ll see if he eventually earns the recognition he deserves.
