Breaking Down Jeff Badet

Related Topics: College, Oklahoma, Kentucky

The Vikings’ draft wouldn’t be complete without a late-round (or in this case UDFA) flyer on a speedster wide receiver. This year it is WR Jeff Badet (bah-DETT), who played for both Kentucky (3 years) and later Oklahoma (1 year) in college.

There’s not too much to know about Badet, who played 3 seasons at Kentucky before switching to Oklahoma as a graduate student:

  • He’s 6’, 180 lbs.
  • He’s fast. Like 4.27” 40 fast. That’s what he ran at his pro day.

Based on those two things, he’d be a field-stretching deep threat for the Vikings offense from the slot WR spot.
