Booth happy to be a Viking, knows he was easy to like but hard to love

Andrew Booth feels like he was easy to like but hard to love. The Minnesota Vikings were the ones to fall in love, drafting Booth on day two of the NFL Draft.

Vikings General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah kept trading during Friday's second round, moving up in a deal with the Indianapolis Colts to select Booth, the former Clemson cornerback, with the 42nd overall pick. The Vikings moved up 11 spots, from the 53rd pick, in the second round to further bolster their secondary by drafting Booth, a former 5-star recruit who played three years for the Tigers.

In 2020, he suffered a right patellar tendon tear that required surgery to repair.
