No shortage of Vikings fans have some concerns about Minnesota’s defensive backfield. An earlier Vikings decision has made the situation even worrisome.
Last year, quarterbacks regularly lit up the Vikings defense. QBs like Mike White (369 yards), Mac Jones (382 yards), Jared Goff (330 yards), Daniel Jones (334 yards) & Teddy Bridgewater (329 yards)* cut through the Vikings’ secondary like a lightsaber cutting through Obi Wan’s suddenly-lifeless cloak. Yes, the defense was awful, but there were some players who did perform admirably.
One such player was Duke Shelley, a young corner who is now with the Las Vegas Raiders.
