The Minnesota Vikings have added another player to their front line on defense through free agency.
The team has announced that they have signed defensive lineman Jullian Taylor to a one-year contract. Financial terms of the deal were not immediately made available.
Taylor was drafted by the San Francisco 49ers in the seventh round of the 2018 NFL Draft out of Temple. (There’s your connection to Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.) He spent his first two seasons with the 49ers, with his 2019 ending early after a torn ACL in Week 17. He started the 2020 season on the Physically Unable to Perform List as a result of that injury and was ultimately waived by the 49ers in November of that year.
