A 2022 Fan-Favorite Viking Is Up for Grabs Once Again

The Minnesota Vikings had a carousel at the cornerback position throughout the 2022 season.

At different points in the season, all of Patrick Peterson, Cam Dantzler, Chandon Sullivan, Akayleb Evans, Andrew Booth, and Duke Shelley got starts.

However, the very last player on this list, Shelley, proved to be the most effective when he finally got his chance. The CB quickly blossomed into a fan-favorite in Minnesota when he stepped on the field against the Buffalo Bills and made a game-saving pass defense while covering TE Dawson Knox.

Minnesota somewhat surprisingly opted not to bring Shelley back to the roster, and he signed with the Las Vegas Raiders.
