Minnesota Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer has never been shy about his affinity for cornerbacks. After the Vikings made a somewhat surprising decision to select UCF corner Mike Hughes with their first-round draft pick last year, Zimmer explained the team’s choice by stating that, “you can never have too many cornerbacks.”
It doesn’t seem likely that Minnesota will be using their first-round selection on a corner again this year (one never knows with Zimmer though), but they do appear to be taking a good amount of interest in a young defensive back from Kentucky.
Derrick Baity is a 6-foot-2, 197 pound corner who started 41 games during his four-year career at Kentucky.
