It’s been well-documented that the Vikings went through quite the transformation at cornerback this offseason.
Xavier Rhodes (Colts), Trae Waynes (Bengals) and Mackensie Alexander (Bengals) are gone.
While those names are familiar, they weren’t a very productive group in 2019.
Instead, the Vikings drafted Jeff Gladney in the first round of the NFL Draft and Cam Dantzler in the third. Those two will join Mike Hughes and Holton Hill as the Vikings’ top corners in 2020.
That group will have a big challenge in Week 1 of the 2020 season, facing off against Packers star wideout Davante Adams.
The best guess is that we’ll see Hughes, a 2018 first-round pick, on Adams for most of the afternoon.
The Vikings managed to keep Adams out of the end zone in 2019, but he also finished with 20 catches for 222 yards in two games, so not exactly a win.
The good news for the Vikings is that after Adams, the Packers are pretty limited at wide receiver.
