After signing free agent Amari Henderson on Monday, the Minnesota Vikings now have 12 cornerbacks on their current roster.

During the 2017 season, passing the football against the Minnesota Vikings was one of the most difficult tasks for an opposing team to accomplish. The Vikings finished the 2017 campaign with the second-best pass defense in the NFL and the majority of the players that made this happen were scheduled to return to the team in 2018.

Despite this, Minnesota still decided to use their first-round pick in the 2018 NFL Draft on former UCF cornerback Mike Hughes.
