The Minnesota Vikings are continuing to stockpile defensive players on day three of the 2022 NFL draft by trading up and taking cornerback Akayleb Evans in the fourth round.
A Missouri transfer, Evans finished his 2021 college season with 28 tackles, one interception and six pass deflections.
The trade was with the Cleveland Browns in exchange for the No. 156 overall pick of this year’s draft and a future fourth-rounder in 2023.
