The Vikings’ cornerback room has been through a lot this offseason, but they recently received some good news. Addition of former NFL Defensive Player of the Year Stephon Gilmore Minnesota will be his fifth new home in five years, but he already seems to have adopted the land of 10,000 lakes.
“[Anthony Edwards] “He’s one of the young GOATs right now, so I’ll definitely be going to some of those games,” Gilmore said after practice earlier this week.

After four dominant years with the Patriots, Gilmore had stints in Carolina, Indianapolis and Dallas before signing with the Vikings this summer. He’s played with NBA players like Luka Doncic and Jayson Tatum, and he even attended a few Hornets games while with the Panthers.

This summer, Edwards was able to win a gold medal at the Olympics with Team USA alongside his childhood hero Kevin Durant, who affectionately nicknamed his 23-year-old friend the “baby GOAT.” Edwards’ star power has now spread to other professional sports, and one of the best cornerbacks of the last decade has taken notice.
Great people are recognized as great, and that is the case here from one star athlete to another.
