Those things sound good and should excite fans for the upcoming 2025 campaign. But there’s one thing that still needs to be addressed, and that’s the cornerback group.

NFL mock drafts will only increase in intensity within the next eight days, a countdown to the 2025 NFL Draft in Green Bay, Wisconsin. One of the more popular documents during the draft’s lead-up is The Beast from The Athletic, a comprehensive tell-all guide regarding every rookie, written by NFL analyst Dane Brugler.

Some positions need more help than others. While the Vikings have already addressed both the offensive and defensive lines, they remain on the hunt for more interior talent.

But just days after general manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah expressed contentment with McCarthy over Rodgers, Samuel Jr., a cornerback, entered the rumor mill. And it happened via a game of telephone.
