There have been many questions surrounding what Mike Hughes’ role might be with the Vikings in 2021, and they now seem to have been answered. The Vikings have officially traded the former first-round pick and their 2022 seventh-rounder to the Kansas City Chiefs in exchange for KC’s 2022 sixth-round pick.
Hughes was the 30th selection of the 2018 NFL Draft, but injuries have hindered his production. He has appeared in just 24 games with seven starts. Hughes only appeared in four games during 2020 due to a neck injury that landed him on IR.
The Vikings have beefed up their secondary over the course of the offseason with the acquisitions of Patrick Peterson, Mackensie Alexander, and Xavier Woods.
