Interesting kid. The Vikings like him, but he's had injuries and been inconsistent. One thing that never gets mentioned is he's only 24 years old heading into this 4th year. He was EXTREMELY young when he was drafted. Zimmer mentioned that he loved his mentality and he's a bigger corner at almost 6' and 201 lbs. I think he can be very good depth at CB this year and probably make a step forward if he remains healthy.
Something about his age, 24, 4 year player UNC, 3 years with Vikings, that means he graduated HS as a sixteen year old. That this young man stayed out of trouble and focused says something about his character. Hope he has a good year, sounds dedicated to the game and his craft.

He is about to turn 25.
Born in august of 92, senior year season listed as 2010, likely graduated in may or june 2011, drafted in 2014 by the Vikes, but says he played 4 years at UNC...we are missing a year somewhere. Unless the screwed up on his senior year and it was actually 09 graduated in 10 shortly before his 18th birthday.
I remember Price getting some raves during his rookie camp, but then just couldn't stay healthy. Two straight years on IR.

He graduated in 2010. Hence the "Class of 2010" on his recruiting profiles. He played as a true freshman for North Carolina in the fall of 2010.
Wasn't he also a Safety in college so had to transition to CB?

So, as I suspected, his wiki page is wrong then as it says his senior football season was 2010.
He was once thought of as Captain's successor, but this will probably be his last TC to make that impression.
