Pete Prisco of CBSSportsline.com has come out with his annual list of the Top 50 NFL players, and the Vikings have four players on the list, including the number seven overall – Adrian Peterson. Here’s the Vikings on the list:

7. Adrian Peterson, RB, Vikings: He puts fear in defenses every time he touches the ball. Imagine if he had real help from the passing game.

9. Jared Allen, DE, Vikings: He’s an all-out player who never lets up. He creates problems with his power and his speed. Turning around his off-field problems has really helped.

21. Kevin Williams, DT, Vikings: He plays the run well and he can rush the passer as well as any inside player.

25. Steve Hutchinson, G, Vikings: After a drop in play in 2007, Hutchinson regained the top spot at the position last season.
