  Draft Scout by Conference









  Jeff Gladney waited until the 31st pick for his phone to ring Thursday night. When his phone did buzz, it was the team the cornerback wanted to hear from on the other line. The Vikings tabbed the former TCU standout in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, using their second selection on Day 1 to bolster a position that was an area of need for Minnesota. "I had talked to them a few times in the draft process … I never lost faith in [the Vikings]," Gladney said. "I thought they were going to draft me, and they did."

Vikings Head Coach Mike Zimmer shared an anecdote from Thursday's call with Gladney, a First-Team All-Big 12 selection with the Horned Frogs who is happy to stay in purple. "When we called him — [college scout] Pat [Roberts] gets him on the phone — and he said, 'I've been waiting for you guys to call.' That's part of what you like about him," Zimmer said. "He's a competitor and he wants to get out there and go." Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman said Gladney "has tremendous upside." - Vikings.com
