Former Vikings first-round draft pick waived by Eagles

Looking back, the 2022 NFL Draft class of the Minnesota Vikings has to be one of the most frustrating groups of young players ever to join the purple and gold. The class is full of players who never lived up to their potential or failed to perform to expectations.

That class was headlined by first-round pick Lewis Cine. The Vikings needed a safety to prepare for the future and chose Cine after a trade down that left many of Minnesota's fans scratching their heads or upset about not selecting other players.

Things didn't work out for Cine in Minnesota.
