Here are the Vikings named to 2025 Pro Bowl Games
Six Minnesota Vikings made the initial roster for the 2025 Pro Bowl Games, the most in 15 years. Check out all the players, including alternates, below.
Quarterback Sam Darnold
If you had told Vikings fans before the season that Sam Darnold would be a Pro Bowler, many would have been surprised. But he earned the honor with his strong play, completing 68.1% of his passes for 4,153 yards, 35 touchdowns and 12 interceptions through 16 games. It's his first Pro Bowl selection.
Wide receiver Justin Jefferson
Justin Jefferson is the least shocking selection. The superstar has logged his fifth straight season of 1,000-plus yards (1,479), along with 10 touchdowns on 100 catches so far.

It's the first Pro Bowl nod for Byron Murphy Jr., who is in his second year with the Vikings. He is tied in the NFL for the most interceptions this season, recording six of them so far.
Outside linebacker Andrew Van Ginkel
