Vikings OT Brian O’Neill named to the 2025 Pro Bowl games

Several Minnesota Vikings received recognition after they finished 14-3 in 2024. Six players were voted to the initial 2025 Pro Bowl roster. With Philadelphia Eagles right tackle Lane Johnson playing in the Super Bowl, the Vikings have another player going to the Pro Bowl Games.

Right tackle Brian O’Neill will take Johnson’s place, giving the Vikings seven players total. His 80.8 PFF grade was tied as the 12th-highest among all tackles in 2024, and he was credited with only allowing two sacks.

It’s O’Neill’s first Pro Bowl invitation since being drafted in 2018. He likely would have been joined by fellow tackle Christian Darrisaw had the left tackle not torn his ACL in October.

The Vikings enter a pivotal offseason to improve the interior offensive line. But they can find comfort in knowing that they have a Pro Bowl tackle at right tackle and a blossoming left tackle in Darrisaw.

The Pro Bowl Games begin Thursday, Jan. 30 at 7 PM ET on ESPN and NFL+.
