With the first quarter of the season in the books, PFF recognized the top performers of the NFL season thus far with their First-Quarter All-Pro team.
Despite the disappointing 1-3 record, the Minnesota Vikings have four players recognized on this list.
WR Justin Jefferson
The first should come as no surprise. At the Flex position, PFF has Justin Jefferson as their first-team representative.
Jefferson leads all receivers with 543 receiving yards this season. He ranks fifth in the NFL with an average of 3.25 yards per route run and has yet to drop any of the 33 catchable passes sent in his direction.
RT Brian O'Neill
The next player to be recognized is right tackle Brian O’Neill, he was listed as the first-team representative at the position.
O’Neill is the highest-graded run-blocking offensive tackle this season, earning a 90.3 PFF run-blocking grade. He’s been solid in pass protection, too, allowing just five total pressures from 180 pass-blocking snaps.
LG Ezra Cleveland
Cleveland was named second-team all-pro behind Tyler Smith of the Dallas Cowboys.
ILB Troy Dye
Dye was named first-team special teamer in front of Brenden Schooler of the New England Patriots.
