The Vikings have question marks surrounding their roster in 2020, especially on defense.
Minnesota lost a significant number of defensive players in free agency, including two starting corners out wide and the team’s nickel corner.
Bryan Murphy of NFL Analysis Network recently listed a burning question for each team in the NFC North. For the Vikings, Murphy asked: How will the CB group perform?
Here’s what he wrote:
“For Hughes, he needs to stay healthy. He has yet to play a full 16-game season for the Vikings. But when he’s been on the field, he’s been very solid defensively.
The cornerback position has a lot of new faces for Minnesota. But with some high-rated rookies competing for playing time, the Vikings might be in better shape defensively than they were last season.”
Murphy also mentioned Holton Hill in the cornerback mix. If Hill and Hughes can stay on the field, in addition to Jeff Gladney and Cameron Dantzler adjusting to the NFL quickly, the cornerback group could actually be an upgrade.
