During the 2020 NFL season, linebacker-turned-commentator, Jonathan Vilma, referred to a mysterious Minnesota Vikings player known as “Steven Nelson.” It sounded like Vilma was using that name for a Minnesota defensive back, but the Vikings did not possess any men on the roster by that name.
Well, perhaps it was foreshadowing. Last week, Braulio Perez of Fansided linked the Vikings to free-agent CB Steven Nelson — formerly of the Pittsburgh Steelers.
General Manager Rick Spielman was once deep at cornerback — about 8 weeks ago — but the score has changed a bit.
