Vikings Take Temple Corner Harrison Hand 169th Overall in the 2020 Draft

The Vikings have selected Temple cornerback Harrison Hand with the 169th overall pick in the fifth round of the 2020 NFL Draft.
After trading their first scheduled fifth-rounder (No. 155) to the Bears for a 2021 fourth, the Vikings add their third cornerback of the draft thus far. Hand is a 5'11" corner with good arm length and major hops. His 41-inch vertical jump at the combine is a 95th-percentile score at the position and his 133-inch broad jump is in the 96th percentile.
Hand began his career at Baylor and transferred to Temple in 2019. He had four interceptions (three of them coming last season) and 18 pass breakups across 31 career games. He has good strength and possesses some intriguing traits in coverage, but isn't the most fluid or quick athlete. He'll have to contribute on special teams right away to make an impact.
