The Minnesota Vikings continue to regroup their middling secondary by adding yet another young defensive back with the selection of USC cornerback Mekhi Blackmon.
A fifth year senior who made the transfer from Colorado to USC during his final year, Blackmon showed he has what it takes to compete with top level athletes. The aggressive man corner has always been productive, but he experienced a true breakout year in his final college season, where he was able to put up seven pass breakups, three interceptions, and surrendered a quarterback rating of 47.6 when targeted.
