Minnesota Vikings 2013 free agents; A.J. Jefferson

The Minnesota Vikings enjoyed a surprising 2012 season. The team enters the offseason with higher expectations and some decisions to make.

The decisions begin with its own free agents.

Here is cornerback A.J. Jefferson.

Number: 24

Height: 6'1"

Weight: 190

College: Fresno State

Experience: 3 years

2012 Stats: 15 games played (7 starts), 37 tackles, 5 passes defensed, 1 fumble recovery.

Career Stats: 33 games played (14 starts), 104 tackles, 18 passes defensed, 1 interception, 2 fumble recoveries.

2013 Outlook: The Vikings traded for him last September. He showed some ability to play in zone coverage. However, he really struggled with his ball skills and lost a lot of jump ball opportunities. He is a guy that could be on the free agent market until late in the offseason. The Vikings likely will re-sign him, unless selects a cornerback early in the draft or makes a significant cornerback signing in free agency.
