Vikings sign former Rutgers cornerback after rookie minicamp tryout

Last weekend’s tryouts led to at least one player signing with the Vikings on Monday.

The Vikings signed former Rutgers cornerback Isaiah Wharton following a three-day rookie minicamp in which Wharton was among more than 30 players participating on a tryout basis.

Wharton (6-0, 200 pounds) is the 10th cornerback on the Vikings roster. However, he was listed as a ‘defensive back’ on the minicamp roster, indicating he could see a varied role. He started 48 consecutive games for Rutgers after he was a two-star recruit out of Kissimmee, Fla.
