Vikings’ Smith, Rhodes Named First Team All-Pro

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) – He may not be good enough to make the Pro Bowl, but at least Minnesota Vikings safety Harrison Smith can hang his hat on an All-Pro selection.

Smith and cornerback Xavier Rhodes were both named first team All-Pro by The Associated Press.

Two more Vikings made the second team: defensive end Everson Griffen and wide receiver Adam Thielen.

Despite being snubbed by Pro Bowl voters, Smith may have played his best season as a pro in 2017. He had 5 interceptions, 1.5 sacks and 61 tackles, showcasing his ability to perform at any level of the field.
