Josh Metellus was selected by the Vikings as a safety in the sixth round of the 2020 NFL Draft. For three seasons, that’s exactly what he was. Everything changed when Brian Flores was brought in to manage the defense.
Metellus plays nickel corner, safety, and linebacker these days. He plays the pass and run, blitzes, and lines up everywhere. He is a jack-of-all-trades for the Vikings.
Metellus was highlighted by our Darren “Doogie” Wolfson during Monday night’s pregame show.
Metellus leads all safeties in quarterback pressures this season with 20, according to Pro Football Focus.
His adaptability and athletic attributes mesh perfectly with Flores’ goals.
Before the season, the Vikings saw potential in Metellus and rewarded him with a two-year contract extension for up to $13 million.
