This week, you’re going to hear a lot about Minnesota Vikings cornerback Xavier Rhodes, his first-team All-Pro designation at cornerback and his importance to the Vikings defense.

Rhodes finished the season with two interceptions and 44 tackles. He added 12 passes defended to his stat sheet for 2017. Slay finished his 2017 campaign tied for the league lead with eight interceptions, a fumble recovery and 55 tackles.
