The Top Safety Prospect in the 2023 NFL Draft Will Visit the Vikings

The Minnesota Vikings traded down in the 2022 Draft with the Detroit Lions in order to snag safety Lewis Cine with the No. 32 pick. Now, this year, it seems the Vikings may be interested in another top safety prospect.

This time, though, they aren’t messing around; they are going after the best safety in the class. That safety is, of course, Brian Branch out of Alabama, and Aaron Wilson reported on Monday that he has visits with seven NFL teams, including Minnesota. Other teams listed include the Houston Texans, Washington Commanders, Las Vegas Raiders, Detroit Lions, Atlanta Falcons, and a private workout with the Buffalo Bills.
