The Minnesota Vikings have been building their secondary for the past four offseasons since selecting Harrison Smith in the first round of the 2012 NFL Draft and corner Josh Robinson in the third. The Vikings lost longtime cornerback Antoine Winfield after Smith’s promising rookie season, and since then they have drafted five defensive backs and head into training camp this year with 11 cornerbacks on the roster.
This number will shrink as the preseason wears on and teams are forced to trim their rosters.
