Matt Daniels Speaks on S Josh Metellus’ Role with the 2023 Vikings

There are many Vikings on the 2023 roster who can be considered “break out candidates” this season. Particularly on the defensive side, Minnesota will be relying on a number of young players to step up.

One of those young players is S Josh Metellus, who our own Kyle Joudry identified as the most underrated Viking a few weeks ago.

With the Vikings now employing Brian Flores as defensive coordinator, the expectation is that Minnesota will use three-safety sets much more, utilizing the talents of Cam Bynum, Lewis Cine, Metellus, and Harrison Smith.
