During the summer months, corner Chuck Demmings was a much hyped Vikings rookie. He now appears to have been leapfrogged on the depth chart, overcome by undrafted sophomore Zemaiah Vaughn.
At first, the issue was that Demmings got hurt, creating a need to turn from the CB4 (Demmings) to the CB5 (Vaughn). Vaughn then did terrific work on specials, proving to be a menace on special teams as he looked long and speedy as a gunner. He has retained that job while Demmings isn’t dressing. As a result, the CB4 and CB5 to begin the season appear to have switched places.
