A Former Gophers Star Is Now a Vikings Rival

Following the conclusion of the 2023 NFL Draft, a number of prospects signed with teams as undrafted free agents. The Vikings, in particular, were very busy through this process, landing an additional 15 players.

However, they weren’t the only team making notable additions through this process, and one signing that likely pains Vikings fans to see is former Gophers star running back, Mohamed Ibrahim, signing with the Detroit Lions, as reported by Tom Pelissero of NFL Network.
