Of every cornerback to play for the Minnesota Vikings since the 2000 season, which five have been the absolute best?

Pass defense has never really been a strength of the Minnesota Vikings during the 21st century. At least not until recently. But that does not mean the Vikings have not had their share of talented cornerbacks throughout the last 18 seasons.

If the last few years are any sort of an indicator, Minnesota’s current crop of corners could evolve into the best group the franchise has ever had.

Still, although it may be hard for some to believe, the Vikings did actually have some impressive cornerbacks play for them before Mike Zimmer was hired in 2014. Some were even voted to the Pro Bowl (crazy).

So of all the corners Minnesota has had on their roster since the 2000 season, who are the five that stand out above the rest?
