The Minnesota Vikings season opener at Cincinnati is only seven days away. The wait is almost over. Fans are excited to watch this team again.
No. 7 is worn by cornerback Patrick Peterson, who was among many new free agents signed by the team this offseason.
Peterson is no longer the same player he once was, but will still help both as a player and as a mentor. Last season Pro Football Focus gave him a 60.8 grade in zone coverage and 49.4 in man coverage. The Vikings ran the 28th most man coverage plays, while the Arizona Cardinals ran the fourth most.
