The Minnesota Vikings added even more help in the secondary in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft, heading to the University of Michigan to select safety Josh Metellus.
The Vikings do have some potential depth issues at safety behind Harrison Smith and Anthony Harris, and Metellus seems like someone that might be able to carve out a role for himself.
The Vikings drafted S Josh Metellus from Michigan with the No. 205 overall pick (sixth round). They had only two safeties on the roster.@dpbrugler is a big fan. He wrote: Metellus may not win a job in camp, "but if he gets into an NFL game, he might not give the job back."

When you get to this point in the draft, you’re taking fliers on a lot of guys, and it seems like that’s what the Vikings are doing here. Metellus might be another one of those guys that works his way up from the practice squad or special teams to be a contributor in the future.
Can anyone out there tell us a little more about Josh Metellus? If so, feel free to tell us in the comments section. Make sure to vote in our poll here as well!
