Over the course of the offseason, we identified cornerback Cameron Dantzler as a player that could potentially step up for the Minnesota Vikings in his third NFL season. It wasn’t just us. . .there were plenty of other media outlets that had jumped aboard the hype train as well.
It would appear. . .at least through the first five games of the 2022 NFL season. . .that those takes were spot-on.
We’ll get to the incredible play that Dantzler made to seal Sunday’s win over Chicago in a bit, but it’s worth noting that he’s made significant strides in his primary duty of covering wide receivers this year as well.
