Vikings new wide receiver Justin Jefferson approves of the Cameron Dantzler selection 

Vikings first-round pick Justin Jefferson likes cornerback Cameron Dantzler and you should, too.

With the 89th overall pick in the draft, the Minnesota Vikings decided to attack the cornerback position for the second time in three rounds.

Heading into the draft, it was clear the Vikings needed a lot of help in the secondary and they got that with the addition of Jeff Gladney and Cameron Dantzler. 

Coming out of Mississippi State, Dantzler has proven he has what it takes to start at the next level. One of the biggest things talked about when he was drafted was his game against one of the best wide receivers in college football. Dantzler was the only corner in the SEC to find success against Ja’Marr Chase, who is arguably the top receiver in next year’s draft class. 

Newly acquired Vikings wideout Justin Jefferson was teammates with Chase at LSU, and he took to Twitter to show his excitement with the Vikings’ selection of Dantzler. 

Not only did Dantzler have success against the best receiver in college football, but he also had great stats in the red zone. 

Dantzler didn’t have the best combine, which led to him sliding down to the third round. If the Vikings are able to reach his full potential, there is likely a chance they have drafted two corners that can make an immediate impact in 2020.
