The Road to 53: CB Mekhi Blackmon Is Fully Entrenched in Minnesota’s CB Battle

The Minnesota Vikings had their rookies report to training camp on Sunday, July 23rd. Minnesota’s veterans also reported a week ago, so training camp is in full swing in Eagan.

As the practice sessions begin, we are continuing to take a look at the depth pieces of this Vikings team, and where they may fit into the 2023 roster through our “Road to 53” series. The next player on our list is CB Mekhi Blackmon, who the Vikings selected in the third round of the 2023 NFL Draft.
