  • Minnesota released a humorous barbershop‑style promo featuring Reichard, punter Ryan Wright, and long snapper Andrew DePaola.

Vikings Launch Creative Campaign as Pro Bowl Voting Ends

With fan voting for the Pro Bowl Games closing Monday, the Minnesota Vikings are making a final push to highlight their special‑teams standouts — especially second‑year kicker Will Reichard, whose record‑setting season has placed him firmly in the NFC conversation.

To boost visibility, the Vikings released a playful promotional video featuring Reichard, punter Ryan Wright, and long snapper Andrew DePaola performing as a barbershop trio. The lighthearted clip has quickly circulated among fans as the team rallies support for its specialists.

Reichard’s Historic Season Sets Him Apart

Reichard enters the final stretch of voting with one of the strongest résumés among NFC kickers. Competing in a conference that includes top performers like Dallas’ Brandon Aubrey and Tampa Bay’s Chase McLaughlin, Reichard has carved out his own place in league history.

This season, he became the first NFL player ever to hit four field goals of 59 yards or longer in a single campaign — and he did it with a perfect 4‑for‑4 record. Overall, he has converted 22 of 24 field‑goal attempts and remains flawless on 23 extra‑point kicks.

Despite Minnesota’s inconsistent offense limiting his opportunities, Reichard has still totaled 89 points through 13 games. That’s down from his rookie tally of 110, but his efficiency remains among the league’s best.

How Fans Can Vote Before Monday’s Deadline

Reichard is one of 74 Alabama‑connected players on this year’s Pro Bowl ballot. Fans can vote through multiple channels:

  • Online via the NFL’s official voting portal
  • On X (formerly Twitter) by tagging the player’s handle or using a hashtag with their full name + #ProBowlVote
  • Through Madden NFL 26 Mobile, where Ballot Tokens reset daily, allowing up to 30 votes per day

Votes cast on social media during the final two days count double, giving fans extra incentive to participate.

Final Pro Bowl rosters will be determined by a three‑way split between fans, players, and coaches, each accounting for one‑third of the vote.

Pro Bowl Games Return February 3

The 2026 Pro Bowl Games will culminate in a 7‑on‑7 flag football matchup on February 3 at the Moscone Center in San Francisco, airing at 7 p.m.

Before then, Reichard and the Vikings return to the field Sunday at 7:20 p.m. CST, facing the Dallas Cowboys at AT&T Stadium. NBC will broadcast the game nationally.
