Is Byron Murphy the Next Patrick Peterson for Minnesota?

Minnesota Vikings fans watched this offseason as star cornerback Patrick Peterson took his talents to the Steel City and signed with Pittsburgh. Before coming to Minnesota, he spent a decade with the Arizona Cardinals. He left the purple after a career year, and now Byron Murphy will follow in his footsteps.

Patrick Peterson always found ample opportunity to get excited when facing his former team in Minnesota, and there was no shortage of evidence when the two squared off last season. Minnesota emerged victorious in a 34-26 contest, and Peterson did his best to stifle the opposing Cardinals pass catchers.
