The Vikings first round draft choice Mike Hughes will wear a jersey with the No. 21 on the back of it.
The No. 30th overall pick in the 2018 NFL Draft from of the University of Central Florida said he chose the number because of a few players who have worn the digits well before him.
"I like the number," Hughes said. "I look up to some guys who wear that number like Patrick Peterson and Deion Sanders. Hopefully I can rock it as well as them."
Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer coached Sanders when he was the defensive coordiator for the Dallas Cowboys.
