The Minnesota Vikings have announced that they signed XFL WR Lucky Jackson and waived OLB Kenny Willekes.
Lucky Jackson spent this season in the XFL with the D.C. Defenders where he caught 36 passes for 572 yards and scored 5 touchdowns in 10 games. Before joining the Defenders, Jackson spent time in the CFL and the TSL. He spent his entire 5 year collegiate career with the Western Kentucky Hilltoppers.
Kenny Willekes was a 7th round pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. The undersized 4-3 defensive end was once considered to be a draft day steal, but has had trouble staying healthy.
