Vikings 53-man roster predictions following 2023 NFL Draft
By Adam Patrick
Safeties (4)
- Harrison Smith
- Lewis Cine
- Cam Bynum
- Josh Metellus
It's not too difficult to figure out which safeties Minnesota will keep on their roster for the 2023 season.
What we'll all be waiting to find out, though, is whether or not Lewis Cine can emerge from training camp and the preseason as a starter. The Vikings' top draft pick in 2022, Cine's versatility could help the team's defense be less predictable next season if he's able to earn a starting role.
Specialist (3)
- Greg Joseph (K)
- Ryan Wright (P)
- Andrew DePaola (LS)
Greg Joseph missed 13 kicks last season, but that didn't prevent the Vikings from re-signing him earlier this year. Minnesota did just sign former Georgia kicker Jack Podlesny as an undrafted free agent, but his chances of making the team's final roster currently seem pretty low.
