Minnesota Vikings har netop afsluttet NFL Draft 2024 uden at udvælge nogen wide receivers. Alligevel har holdet nu tilført sig fire nye modtagere gennem underskrivelsen af 19 udraftede spillere. Det meddeler Vikings i en officiel pressemeddelelse.
Blandt de nye ansigter er Dillon Bell, der tidligere spillede for Georgia Bulldogs. Bell opnåede 119 modtagelser over fire sæsoner i college. Også Shaleak Knotts fra Maryland er blandt de nye wide receivers. Sidste sæson førte han Maryland med 717 modtagelsesyards. Marcus Sanders Jr. kommer fra Georgia Southern, hvor han i 2023 havde 50 modtagelser for 797 yards. Den fjerde wide receiver, Luke Wysong, afsluttede sin college-karriere ved Arizona efter fire år ved New Mexico.
Ud over de fire wide receivers har Vikings også tilført sig en række andre talenter. Herunder Marcus Allen (North Carolina, cornerback), Da'Veawn Armstead (North Texas, cornerback), Jordan Botelho (Notre Dame, linebacker) og Tyreek Chappell (Texas A&M, cornerback).
Forsvaret er blevet styrket med spillere som Monkell Goodwine (South Carolina, defensive linje), Keli Lawson (UCF, linebacker) og Arden Walker (Colorado, linebacker). Offensiven får støtte fra Tristan Leigh (Clemson, offensive linje) og Tomas Rimac (Virginia Tech, offensive linje).
Også specialholdene er blevet forstærket med Brett Thorson (Georgia, punter) og Kejon Owens (FIU, running back). Endelig er der tilføjet flere defensive backs og linebackere, herunder Cam'Ron Stewart (Temple, linebacker), Jacob Thomas (James Madison, safety) og Scooby Williams (Texas A&M, linebacker).
