Vikings Land Free Agent WR and Return Specialist

About an hour after Mecole Hardman went off the board, the Minnesota Vikings made their own move to acquire a free agent WR. This one is not nearly as splashy, but per ESPN’s Adam Schefter, the Vikings have agreed to terms with former Los Angeles Rams WR and return specialist Brandon Powell.

Powell entered the NFL after spending his college years with the Florida Gators from 2014-17. The wide receiver actually committed to Florida as a running back, but he made the switch to receiver during his tenure at the university.
