With the 32nd selection in the 2022 NFL draft, the Minnesota Vikings selected Lewis Cine, a 6-foot-2, 199-pound junior safety from the University of Georgia. He was a two-year starter that was the MVP of the national championship game.
The selection signals a shift in drafting philosophy. I spoke about it on The Real Forno Show on Monday that Vikings general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah prioritized two things across the board:
-Explosive 10-yard splits
-Played at a power-five school
Cine has both of those and a little bit more than that. Who is Cine the player? I’ll say this much: The Vikings got themselves a good one.
