Harrison Smith, S, second Pro Bowl selection: Despite missing the Vikings' last two games with a sprained left ankle, Smith already had established himself as one of the league's best safeties. He has a pair of sacks as part of the Vikings' blitz packages this season, and though he doesn't have an interception, he's recovered a pair of fumbles.
Everson Griffen, DE, second Pro Bowl selection: Griffen has eight sacks this season, after posting double-digit sacks each of the last two seasons, and largely has been solid against the run.
