Vikings Take a Rising Defensive Prospect in ESPN’s Latest 2023 Mock Draft

ESPN released their newest 2023 NFL mock draft this week, penned by Matt Miller, and within it, we see the Minnesota Vikings take a rising defensive prospect as we get closer to April’s draft. That prospect is Arkansas LB Drew Sanders.

Sanders began his college football career with Alabama in 2020 where he was productive, but largely limited to a rotational role due to the depth of the Crimson Tide linebacker room that also contained Henry To’oto’o and Christian Harris.
