The Minnesota Vikings are continuing to look at outside talent to help the team. On Monday morning, they signed rookie free agent wide receiver Jacob Copeland and waived wide receiver Cephus Johnson III.
Copeland spent three seasons with the Florida Gators before transferring to Maryland for the 2022 season. He was never featured to his talent level in college and his numbers speak volumes.
In his college career, he had 112 receptions for 1,742 yards and 11 touchdowns along with nine rushes for 64 yards. He also has the ability to return kicks, having done so 10 times in college.
Johnson struggled all throughout training camp in route running and creating separation. The former SE Louisiana quarterback didn’t look to be an option on special teams either and that’s an issue for a back end of the roster player.
