5 potential replacements for Vikings CB Patrick Peterson in 2022
By Adam Patrick
Joe Haden
- Age:
- 32-years-old
- 2021 Stats (with Pittsburgh Steelers):
- 12 games
- 38 tackles
- 6 pass breakups
- 60.0 percent catch rate allowed when targeted
- 100.1 passer rating allowed when targeted
If things don’t end up working out with Patrick Peterson, the Vikings could turn to another cornerback who entered the NFL as a top-10 draft pick in Joe Haden.
Haden has spent the last five seasons with the Steelers, and before that, he was a member of the Cleveland Browns for seven years. During his time in the league, he has started a total of 148 games, so he has plenty of experience that would prove to be useful both on the field and inside the locker room.
Haden is starting to show signs of decline (62nd ranked corner in 2021 by PFF), but a fresh start with a new team, might be what he needs to get his performance back on track.
