Summary
Two Vikings defenders are flying under the radar but soaring in impact: Jalen Redmond, the 12th-best DT in the league, and new CB James Pierre, ranked second among cornerbacks in impact scoring. Redmond, a 2024 scouting gem, has evolved into a disruptive force with six sacks and top-tier pass deflections. Pierre, a veteran signing from Pittsburgh, brings elite efficiency—breaking up 11 passes and allowing a 57.2 passer rating when targeted. Both are ready to contribute at OTAs, with Pierre poised to step in as CB3 and Redmond cementing his role as a cornerstone of the defense.
