Summary
The Minnesota Vikings defense, under new coach Brian Flores, is expected to remain a formidable force despite key player departures. Andrew Van Ginkel, known for his screen pass shutdowns, leads the defensive line. Blake Cashman, a Minnesota native, is the linebacker leader and top tackler. Jalen Redmond, an undrafted free agent, has risen to become a crucial defensive line player. Byron Murphy Jr. and Josh Metellus round out the top five, with Murphy being the best cornerback and Metellus a versatile safety.
