Fantasy Impact

This tragedy is obviously bigger than football or fantasy football. Gladney was a 2020 draft pick by the Minnesota Vikings and had signed with the Arizona Cardinals in March. No further information about the accident has been released.

Jeff Gladney, former Vikings first-round pick, has reportedly agreed to sign with the Arizona Cardinals.

Fantasy Impact

Check back shortly for the fantasy impact.

First-round pick CB Jeff Gladney signed his four-year,$10.91 million contract with the Vikings.

Fantasy Impact

The deal includes a $5.53 million signing bonus. Gladney racked up 31 tackles, one interception and 1.5 tackles and 14 passes defensed in his senior year at TCU. He will start immediately for the Vikings and line up opposite LCB Mike Hughes.

The Minnesota Vikings have selected cornerback Jeff Gladney with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.

Fantasy Impact

Minnesota leaves the first round addressing their two primary needs, wide receiver and cornerback. The 5'10", 191-pound TCU product possesses quick feet and strong instincts in coverage. Additionally, he's a strong run defender. The biggest knock on Gladney is that he might need to bulk up in order to compete with some of the bigger, more physical receivers in the NFL.
