Will Reichard Closes 2nd Vikings Season with NFC Player of Month Honors

Reichard is the first Vikings player to win the NFC Special Teams Player of the Month since returner Cordarrelle Patterson did in September 2013, and the first kicker since Blair Walsh in December 2012.

Reichard is the fifth player overall under O’Connell to collect NFC Player of the Month honors, joining OLB Za’Darius Smith (Defense, October 2022), WR Justin Jefferson (Offense, November 2022), OLB Danielle Hunter (Defense, November 2023) and QB Sam Darnold (Offense, September 2024).

Seven different Vikings players have won at least one Special Teams Player of the Month award.
