5 weakest starters on the Minnesota Vikings 2020 roster

Holton Hill – CB

Unfortunately for the Vikings defense, both of their projected starters at cornerback are some of the weakest in the league. Mike Hughes has been injury-prone and inconsistent and while Holton Hill has been healthy, he’s missed time due to suspensions.

Hill has put together some solid stretches of play during his time in Minnesota. As a rookie, he started three games and played quite well as he broke up seven passes and snagged an interception. He didn’t see as much action in 2019, as he missed half the season due to suspension.

Hill’s best attribute is his size as he’s 6-foot-2 and just under 200 pounds. He can match up with the bigger receivers in the NFC and Minnesota will need him to as the majority of their corners are under 6-feet tall.

With just four starts to his name, Hill is very inexperienced. However, this is his third year in Mike Zimmer’s system and he should be well versed in all the verbiage and coverages. The younger players will look to him for help and perhaps taking on more of a leadership role will help mature this troubled playmaker.

Hill has the potential to be a very good corner in the NFL. But until he proves to be more trustworthy and he has stretches of solid play, he can only be seen as a liability in the starting lineup for the Vikings this year.
