Andrew Booth Jr. - CB

Viewed by many as a first-round prospect, the Vikings were able to land Andrew Booth Jr. in the second round of the 2022 NFL Draft.

Even as a rookie, expectations were pretty high for Booth last season. Unfortunately for him, he dealt with a number of injuries throughout the 2022 campaign and it resulted in him only appearing in a total of six games.

To help his chances of staying on the field next season, Booth has apparently been bulking up this offseason, and his teammates have noticed.

Earlier this week, Minnesota wide receiver K.J. Osborn talked about how Booth is bigger, stronger, and faster than he was last year, and that's a good sign for the team's defensive backfield.

Booth is currently viewed as a favorite to land one of the starting outside cornerback jobs for the 2023 season. But in order to do that, he has to remain healthy. At the very least, he's taken some of the necessary steps to help make that happen.
