Who is going to be the starting slot corner in Minnesota? Right now, we’re not able to answer that question with any certainty. As a result, the Vikings’ main defensive deficiency is alive and well.
Signing Byron Murphy, in the opinion of your humble author, was a wonderful decision. Still only 25, Murphy oozes potential. He has already established himself as a strong NFL corner, though the hope is that he’ll ascend even higher. Might we see him firmly establish himself as a preeminent CB1 in 2023? If so, Brian Flores will have a matchup corner to help nullify the opposition’s main receiving threat.
