Who are some of the former Minnesota Vikings draft selections that have potentially reached the end of their career in the NFL?

Across the NFL, there are a number of former Minnesota Vikings draft picks that are still making an impact in the league. Some of these players are vital to the success of their current team, while others are just doing whatever they can to contribute and remain in the NFL.

Unfortunately, there are a few former Vikings draft picks that have likely reached the end of the road in the NFL. Who are some of these former Minnesota draft selections that have probably played their final snap in the league without even realizing it?

Player No. 1: Everson Griffen - DE

We haven't seen Everson Griffen in the NFL since the 2021 season when he appeared in nine games for the Vikings. Griffen had to step away from the team midway through the 2021 campaign after a concerning mental health incident and his future in the NFL has been unknown ever since then.

Griffen did say last November that he still wanted to play in the league again, but at the age of 35, it's quite possible that his time in the NFL has already ended.
