It didn’t take long for former Clemson cornerback Andrew Booth Jr. to get the reputation of the defensive back opposing quarterbacks didn’t want to throw against in college.
He put receivers on an island and racked up back-to-back All-ACC awards in the process. The Minnesota Vikings knew exactly who they were getting when they moved up to No. 42 in the second round to select Booth at the 2022 NFL draft.
They are getting a dogged defensive back capable of keeping the top on the defense. According to Pro Football Focus, Booth hasn’t given up a 20-plus yard catch in his last 334 snaps on the football field.
