KJ Osborn earned the respect of the Miami football program and NFL scouts after leading the Hurricanes in receptions, receiving yards, receiving touchdowns and punt returns as a graduate transfer in 2019. Osborn was chosen in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings on Saturday.
KJ Osborn is viewed as a return specialist and slot receiver by Vikings General Manager Rick Speilman. The Minnesota receiving corps is in a transition after recently trading star wide receiver Stefon Diggs to the Buffalo Bills. Minnesota used the first-round pick obtained in that trade to draft Justin Jefferson from Florida.
