In the latest NFL poll by ESPN, Minnesota Vikings' Ryan Kelly received an honorable mention for his performance on the interior offensive line, demonstrating his value but failing to break into the top ten rankings. The poll reflects insights from coaches, scouts, and executives across the league, showcasing a disparity between the subjective opinions of fans and the league’s professional evaluators.

The Vikings' offensive line has been a focal point for improvement, especially in protecting quarterback Kirk Cousins and facilitating the run game. Kelly's recognition indicates his solid play, though the lack of a higher ranking suggests competition in the league's interior line category remains fierce.
