He should have been a lock to make the Pro Bowl weeks ago. He makes everybody around him better, C.J. Mosley looked like a Pro Bowler playing next to him.
Alphabean will do a better job explaining his dominance, as he has seen him all year, but what hurts him is that nobody knows who he is, but he is amazing.

2gap system the job of the NT or DT is not to go "up field" and get the QB or the RB, their job is to occupy 2 blockers Center/Gaurd which opens room for a DE to spin inside or a LB/CB/Saftey to Blitz.
It's one of the most underated jobs in the NFL because most fans never notice it, they look at stats and see: "this guy has no sacks, no hurries and not many tackles" what they don't realise is he opened the lane for a bunch of sacks, hurries and tackles, it's like a FB for a top running back.
As I said, I don't follow the Vikes, I'm just asking why he deserves to go, over the other players who got taken?
