The weeks of waiting are finally over as the final 10 best
players in the NFL were announced Thursday night.
There are 1696 players in the league and to make the top 100
being voted on by their peers is quite the honor.
It was great to see 3 Vikings get in the top 100 with Chad
Greenway coming in at 70 and Jared Allen in at 60. The third Vikings got
exactly what he deserved after his performance last season. Yes, Adrian
Peterson was voted the number one player in the NFL.
The awards just do not stop coming for this machine of a
man. I think we all could look at ourselves in whatever occupation we are and
know hard work and a great attitude could lead to success.
It is incredible to know the Vikings own division had 3
players in the final 10. Packers quarterback, Aaron Rodgers came in at 6 and
Calvin “Megatron” Johnson came in at third. What does this say for the best division
in football?
I love the choice of Payton Manning at number 2 but coming
into the night I was figuring Packer’s Rodgers would be 2 and Peterson 1. It is incredible to think that Peterson and
Manning would undergo serious surgeries and then both would play out of their
minds. Would they survive a 16 game season? The answer was emphasized Thursday
with an exclamation point.
I love being wrong on this one. The fact the Rodgers came in
so low at 6 and Houston’s defensive end, J.J. Watt came in ahead of Rodgers was
a great surprise. Lions’ receiver Johnson
even finished higher than Rodgers. What a great night to be a Vikings fan.
CONGRATS ADRIAN PETERSON!!!!!
