Vikings Evaluate 4.36-Speed WR De'Zhaun Stribling in Pre-Draft Meeting

The visit signals Minnesota is vetting size-speed depth behind its top receivers.

Overview

  • ESPN’s Jeremy Fowler reported that Ole Miss receiver De’Zhaun Stribling has pre-draft meetings with the Vikings, Buccaneers, Bears and Eagles.
  • Stribling measured 6-foot-2 and 207 pounds at the NFL combine and ran an official 4.36-second 40-yard dash.
  • Team materials describe the receiver group as a little thinner after Jalen Nailor joined the Raiders, with Tai Felton and Myles Price next in line and several developmental players behind them.
  • Minnesota says it intends to exercise Jordan Addison’s fifth-year option, reinforcing its plan to keep the Jefferson–Addison pairing intact.
  • The Stribling meeting reflects routine scouting rather than a draft promise as the Vikings sort out offensive pieces with Kyler Murray in place and J.J. McCarthy still developing.
