Pro Football Focus (PFF) has released its All-Rookie Team for the 2023 season, which included two Minnesota Vikings’ defenders: Ivan Pace Jr. and Mekhi Blackmon. Only the Texans (with 3x the draft capital of the Vikings) had more players make the list.
Rookie wide receiver Jordan Addison, who had the third-most receiving yards among rookie wide receivers this season and the most touchdowns, lost out to Puka Nacua, Rashee Rice, and Tank Dell. Those were the three highest graded wide receivers and all had higher yards per route run than Addison as well, who was likely held back some by the falloff in quarterback play the second-half of the season.
