Hear that the #Vikings are expected to add cornerback Kalon Barnes to their 53-man roster. He will be plucked off of Miami’s practice squad. Contract will run through 2024. Barnes was a #Skol pre-draft visit, ran a blazing 4.22 at the Combine. pic.twitter.com/NelLe8PVpl

The team needs secondary help and he most likely can play 15 yards off receivers as well as anybody. Hopefully with that speed he can close fast and limit YAC.

Guy that fast but can't make the 53 man roster tells me he might be directionally challenged.

And does he have any ball skills, we've had DBs that could run with amy receiver in the game, but could never make a play on the ball.

I always view the practice squad players as like shopping a ding and dent aisle, you know something is gonna be fucked, you just hope its only cosmetic and what you actually bought is something you can still work with.
