Midseason Report: NFC North's Offensive All-Pro's

The midseason NFC North Offensive All-Pro's:

Check out the Defensive All-Pro's here.

Quarterback: Aaron Rodgers, GB

Rodgers has proved so far in 2008 that the best quarterback in the NFC North still resides in Green Bay, compiling 1982 yards and 13 touchdowns with only five interceptions. The first-year starter has shown the accuracy, arm-strength, and poise to continue on his success, and the Packers thought the same when they rewarded Rodgers by giving him a 65 million dollar contract extension.

Sorry to: Kyle Orton, CHI

Running back: Adrian Peterson, MIN

Peterson picked up right where he left off last season, and through eight games ranks second in the NFL in rushing with 823 yards. Who knows where Minnesota would be without AD this season. Peterson meshes an amazing combination of physical prowess and speed with vision and agility. Quietly, he is making a strong case for the classification of NFL's best running back.

Sorry to: Matt Forte, CHI

Full back: Jason McKie, CHI

McKie is a punishing blocker, and the Bears have used him in goal-line and short-yardage situations (two touchdowns). Has eight catches out of the backfield, so he can also provide a decent receiving option. His best value still lies in run-blocking, however, and Forte does a decent job of reading his blocks to get downfield.

Wide Receiver: Greg Jennings, GB

Jennings has been near the top of receiving yards and average throughout the season, and week-in and week-out proves to be Rodgers' favorite target. Jennings is far from a physically imposing receiver, but he mixes elusive speed and precise routes to create separation from defenders. Once Jennings makes the catch, he's hard to bring down and is one of the NFL's best in space.

Wide Receiver: Bernard Berrian, MIN

Berrian has been everything Minnesota thought he'd be—a vertical receiver who can stretch defenses and open up the running game for the Vikings. Berrian joins Jennings near the top of average yards per reception, and has caught a touchdown in his past four games by using his elite speed and veteran know-how to get down field.

Sorry to: Calvin Johnson, Det and Donald Driver, GB

Tight End: Visanthe Shiancoe, MIN

Shiancoe has finally started to realize his unlimited talent in 2008, and his 248 yards and four touchdowns reflect that. He has touchdown catches of 34, 12, 24 and 25, proving he has the ability to stretch defenses down the middle of the field. Shiancoe has a rare mixture of size (6'4", 250 lbs) and speed (4.6) that causes matchup nightmares for opposing defensive coordinators.

Sorry to: Greg Olson, CHI
