The offseason is a time for players to both heal up from the season and also prepare for the upcoming season. Players will both work on their technique and improve their bodies with unique workouts.
Minnesota Vikings cornerback Akayleb Evans is doing just that. He posted on his Instagram a video of him jumping nearly 4.5 feet from a sitting position.

Evans had a solid start to his NFL career in 2022 but it got derailed by suffering three concussions. Seeing him working out with these explosive workouts is a great sign.
As of right now, Evans looks to be in line to be potentially a starting cornerback along with Byron Murphy Jr. and Andrew Booth Jr.
