Vikings fans dominate Pro Bowl voting
Vikings fans have been doing a lot of clicking lately.
Vikings players dominated the final results released Tuesday by the NFL. Nearly 90 million votes were cast.
Quarterback Brett Favre and running back Adrian Peterson received the third and fourth-most votes among all players.
Peterson, kickoff returner Percy Harvin, fullback Naufahu Tahi, tackle Bryant McKinnie, guard Steve Hutchinson, center John Sullivan, kicker Ryan Longwell, defensive end Jared Allen, defensive tackle Pat Williams and special teams player Heath Farwell were the leading vote-getters at their respective positions.
Fan selections count for one-third of the vote total, with players and coaches also getting equal input toward the all-star teams that will be announced next week.
