Balto 723 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 On April 26, 2018, the Minnesota Vikings selected Hughes in the first round, 30th overall, of the 2018 NFL Draft.[19] Hughes signed a four-year contract with the Vikings on July 19, 2018,[20][21][22][23] with St. Paul Pioneer Press writer Chris Tomasson reporting that Hughes had signed a $9.87 million deal with a signing bonus of $5.256 million.[21][22][23] In his NFL debut, he recorded a 28-yard interception return for a touchdown[24] in the Vikings' 24–16 season-opening win over the San Francisco 49ers.[25] On October 14, 2018, in a Week 6 game against the Arizona Cardinals, Hughes suffered a torn ACL, prematurely ending his rookie season 2019[edit] Hughes entered the season as the fourth cornerback on the Vikings depth chart. In week 9 against the Kansas City Chiefs, Hughes forced a fumble on rookie wide receiver Mecole Hardman on a kickoff return and the ball was recovered by teammate Holton Hill in the 26–23 loss.[28] He was placed on injured reserve on January 3, 2020 with a neck injury.[29] He finished the season with 45 tackles, nine passes defensed, two forced fumbles, and an interception through 14 games and three starts. 2020[edit] Hughes entered the season as the Vikings top cornerback. He was placed on injured reserve on October 30, 2020.[30] 2021[edit] The Vikings declined to exercise the fifth year option on Hughes' contract on May 3, 2021, making him an unrestricted free agent following the 2021 season.[31] The Vikings traded Hughes to the Kansas City Chiefs for the Chiefs 2022 sixth-round pick and their 2022 seventh-round pick.

kkuenn 3,599 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Report: Chiefs traded for cornerback Mike Hughes The 24-year-old cornerback is on the final year of his rookie contract. By Pete Sweeney May 13, 2021, 4:00pm CDT 10 Comments Share this story Share this on Facebook (opens in new window) Share this on Twitter (opens in new window) SHAREAll sharing options Jeffrey Becker-USA TODAY Sports The Kansas City Chiefs have agreed to a trade with the Minnesota Vikings for cornerback Mike Hughes, according to ESPN’s Adam Schefter. Sports Illustrated’s Albert Breer was first with the details on the swap — with the Chiefs getting Hughes and the Vikings’ 2022 seventh-rounder in exchange for their 2022 sixth-round pick. Hughes, 24, first entered the NFL as the 30th overall pick made by the Vikings in the first round of the 2018 NFL Draft. As a member of the Vikings over the past three seasons, Hughes appeared in 24 games with seven starts. Hughes tore his ACL after six games his rookie season and his season ended in Week 17 of 2019 due to a cracked vertebra. Hughes only played four games in 2020 before a neck injury landed him on injured reserve, though the Vikings have said that the 2019 and 2020 injuries were unrelated. In March, Chris Tomasson of the St. Paul Pioneer Press reported that Hughes is fully healthy, though the Vikings declined to exercise his fifth-year option in early May. The Vikings added three-time first-team All-Pro cornerback Patrick Peterson this offseason. Hughes has played on both the inside and outside, and he may compete for both with the Chiefs. Kansas City has wanted to potentially move second-year cornerback L’Jarius Sneed primarily to the outside, so Hughes locking up the nickel role would allow them to do that. Hughes has also participated in all four special teams units. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thegoatee 1,780 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 As a UCF alum, he was a huge part of the undefeated season and helping anchor the defensive secondary. A pity he hasn’t been able to stay healthy. Great college talent. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Veach is always looking at those high round picks who need new scenery ...whether it's injury, change of coaches ...whatever. I just hope the kid can stay healthy. Thats now 2 recent first round corners (1 from 2018 draft and 1 from 2019 draft) that fit our system, both added since last Nov 2020. Total cost = 1 6th round pick and got back a 7th. Further evidence that Veach is a goddamn Sorcerer. oldtimer, DieHard and mex 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dhitter 1,424 Posted May 13, 2021 Share Posted May 13, 2021 Looking over his rookie tape the one thing that stood out is the kid is not afraid of contact. I saw numerous tackles made with some pop in them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AFCWEST 1,238 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 PER AP In general, his movement skills could be better; he won’t be the cornerback that’s glued to a receiver step for step throughout the entire route. He’s not as comfortable in off-ball coverage; he would much rather line up in press and use his physicality to initially re-direct the receiver. Fortunately, the Chiefs like to put their cornerbacks in press techniques for that exact reason. The bottom line Hughes absolutely fits what the Chiefs have typically wanted in their cornerbacks, and he should immediately be competing for one of the three starting positions in nickel formations. He’s played most of his career on the boundary, but he also has plenty of slot experience. As long as he is healthy — which has not been the case for most of his three-year NFL career — Hughes should raise the overall performance of the Chiefs’ secondary. He enters the final year of his rookie contract, meaning he’ll have every reason to be motivated to play the best football of his life. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetlord 10,209 Posted May 14, 2021 Share Posted May 14, 2021 I see him as a slot corner only and not really better than Fenton or Sneed. His injury history indicates that he can't be relied on for a regular role. Still, at the cost, he's worth a shot. Still need to find a player to replace Breeland or resign him.

I agree with him not being better than Sneed. If healthy he may be an upgrade to Fenton. We need a slot corner badly so Sneed can kick outside, and this could be a potential answer there. I like it.
