Minnesota Viking and Rock Valley High School graduate Andrew Van Ginkel has been named second-team all-pro by the Associated Press. Following five seasons with the Miami Dolphins, the former Boyden-Hull/Rock Valley football player is enjoying the best season of his career. In his first campaign with the Vikings, Van Ginkel has recorded a career high 79 tackles, 11.5 sacks and 18 tackles for loss. He also has a career high two interceptions, both of which were returned for touchdowns. Van Ginkel is joined by two other Vikings as all-pros.

Minnesota plays the Los Angeles Rams and Sioux Center graduate Christian Rozeboom in the NFC Wildcard Round on Monday night in a game that has been moved to State Farm Stadium in Glendale, AZ due to the fires in California.
