It’s no secret that the Vikings’ depth at cornerback is questionable right now, and the team has been reportedly meeting with a draft prospect who could fill that void.
The Draft Network’s Jordan Reid reported that Louisiana Tech cornerback Amik Robertson has had FaceTime meetings with 19 teams, one of which was the Vikings.
Reid reported that Eagles, Jets, Panthers and Titans are some of the other teams that have met with Robertson.
La. Tech standout CB Amik Robertson has had FaceTime meetings with 19 teams that include the #Vikings, #Eagles, #Jets, #Panthers, and #Titans among many others, per source. Lots of intrigue about one of the drafts top nickel corners.

Robertson is listed at 5-8, 187 pounds, so some are concerned how his size will translate to the NFL level. He could, however, possibly fill a positional need for Minnesota at the nickel, considering the Vikings’ nickel corner, Mackensie Alexander, signed with the Bengals in free agency.
Minnesota’s 2019 starters out wide at corner — Trae Waynes and Xavier Rhodes — also signed with other teams this offseason. So Robertson could compete for a spot out wide, and if he doesn’t get it, could always fill in at the nickel spot.
