The Minnesota Vikings are sending two of their young stars to the Pro Bowl.

Linebacker Anthony Barr and quarterback Teddy Bridgewater were named to their first Pro Bowl, replacing New England Patriots linebacker Jamie Collins and Arizona Cardinals quarterback Carson Palmer, who are dealing with injuries.

Playing in his second season, Barr amassed 68 tackles, 3.5 sacks, and an interception, while helping the Vikings' defense make a major leap.

Bridgewater continued his development as the team's franchise quarterback, throwing for 3,231 yards and 14 touchdowns.
