Vikings kickoff return specialist Cordarrelle Patterson has been named All-Pro by the Associated Press for the second time in his four-season career.
Patterson led the NFL in kickoff return average, posting 31.7 per runback, for the third time in his career and had already been named to his second Pro Bowl. He also returned a kickoff 104 yards for a touchdown to start the second half against Arizona.
He also contributed as a gunner on special teams, pressuring punt returners into mistakes and downing other punts inside the 20. Patterson also recorded a career-high 52 receptions on offense.
