The secondary for the Minnesota Vikings struggled mightily in 2020. A lack of experience and some tough injuries forced the unit to play some individuals who weren’t quite ready for action and it resulted in some tough losses for the squad.

Minnesota seems to be focused on making sure the defense doesn’t struggle the way they did last season. The Vikings have been active in free agency by signing defensive tackle Dalvin Tomlinson, defensive end Stephen Weatherly, and cornerbacks Patrick Peterson and Mackensie Alexander.
