The Vikings returned every member of their high-powered secondary partially responsible for the franchise's first No. 1 defense in points and yards since 1970. Then they drafted cornerback Mike Hughes with their top pick.
It still might not be Jerry Gray's most talented group as the Vikings defensive backs coach enters his 20th season in the NFL teaching ranks.
Gray, a four-time Pro Bowl cornerback for the L.A. Rams, has coached a treasure trove of high-profile cornerbacks and safeties including Antoine Winfield, Lawyer Milloy, Troy Vincent, Nate Clements and Terrence McGee. That was just the 2003-05 Buffalo Bills.
