Former Vikings Corner – A 1st-Round Pick – Finds a New Team

Mike Hughes began his Vikings career in perhaps the best possible manner. The former Vikings corner got eased into the lineup in Week 1, but he made the most of his chances by snagging an interception that he returned for a touchdown.

Since that initial high, though, there has been a lot of struggle.

Things didn’t work out in Minnesota for Hughes, but he’s getting another opportunity. He’s expected to sign with the Atlanta Falcons, an ascending NFC team.
