The Vikings will be relying a lot on young cornerbacks in 2020. That’s especially true with 31st overall pick Jeff Gladney
In the first six weeks, the Vikings will see Davante Adams, T.Y. Hilton, A.J. Brown, DK Metcalf and Julio Jones.
Gladney is ready for that challenge and it sounds like he’s using it as motivation.
“I’ve checked out the schedule,’’ Gladney said via the Pioneer Press. “We’ve got some good teams coming up. But our focus really is on Week 1 against the Packers right now. All the great receivers that we are going to face, I mean, that’s what you live for as a corner. So, it’ll be fun.’’
Another rookie cornerback for the Vikings, Cam Dantzler, said that safeties Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris have been huge for the development of the young corners.
Of course, we’ll have to wait until Week 1 to see if that’s the case with no preseason games.
