Coming off his best year in the National Football League, former Augustana Viking standout CJ Ham will represent the Minnesota Vikings and National Football Conference (NFC) in the NFL Pro Bowl.
The honor marks the first of the career for Ham, who recently finished his third full year, and fourth overall, in the NFL. The game will be played Sunday, Jan. 26 on ESPN.
Ranked as the No.3 overall fullback by Pro Football Focus, Ham had a breakout campaign for the Minnesota Vikings. The do-it-all fullback established new career-highs in single-season receptions (17), receiving yards (149), first-downs (8) and caught his first career NFL touchdown.
CJ stepped on the field for 593 snaps this season, second-best in the NFL. He helped the Vikings to an 11-6 record and an appearance in the NFL Divisional Playoff round.
