Another member of the Minnesota Vikings’ draft class of 2022 has officially put pen to paper.
The team has announced that fourth-round pick Akayleb Evans has signed his first-ever NFL contract.
Evans was the Vikings’ fourth-round pick out of Missouri this past April, with the team giving up their fifth-round pick in the 2023 NFL Draft to move up to #118 overall and select him. Evans started his college career at Tulsa but then transferred to Missouri for his final year in college.
Based on his draft slot, Evans should receive a signing bonus of around $760,000 for his four-year deal, which could have a value of as much as $4.
