NFL Football Season 2007- 08
Favorite Players by Team
NFC - Minnesota Vikings
Bernard Berrian
Not a No. 1 and not worth $16 million in guarantees. Still, the Vikings had to do something at this position.
Bernard Berrian is a good No. 2 receiver who is being paid like a No. 1.
The fifth-year pro has never posted 1,000 yards. He had a respectable 951 yards (14th most in the NFC) on 71 receptions last season and 775 yards the year before that.
Berrian is a fast player who can stretch the field and he is to be commended for improving in his weak areas over the years. However, to be an authentic No. 1, a wideout must be dangerous in short yardage as well as over the middle.
He must be worthy of a double team on every third down.
Berrian is certainly Minnesota’s best receiver, thanks to meanness at the position. Perhaps this technically makes him a No. 1. But $16 million in guarantees?
