Vikings edge rusher Danielle Hunter, fullback C.J. Ham, and long snapper Andrew DePaola represented the franchise at this weekend's Pro Bowl games in Orlando, FL. Here's a quick recap of their weekend.

Things kicked off on Thursday night with the skills challenges, and DePaola came up big for Team NFC in the "Snap Shots" game. He came up as the third of three snappers for the NFC, needing seven points to secure the victory for himself, Jason Kelce, and Erik McCoy. Choosing to fire snaps at the one-point target, the 36-year-old got the job done with nine points.

Hunter and Ham also competed for the NFC in a couple dodgeball games to cap off the evening.

Friday saw all three players take the field at Camping World Stadium for Pro Bowl practice. Vikings wide receivers coach Keenan McCardell was the NFC team's offensive coordinator for the weekend under head coach Eli Manning (Peyton Manning coached the AFC team).

On Sunday, the players took part in several more competitions. Hunter was on the NFC's winning team in a tug of war battle.

As for the actual flag football game that capped off the weekend, the Vikings' trio wasn't particularly involved due to the nature of their positions. But McCardell and the NFC eked out a 64-59 victory, with Baker Mayfield earning offensive MVP honors.

All in all, it seemed like a pretty cool weekend for these three Vikings players and their families.
