Homan

“I would say there is a better percentage of him not being here than him being here,” said Greenway. “But again, that’s not my hope.” Leber is 32, and his snaps were cut in half last year. The Vikes won’t spend big on Leber’s replacement. They could let Erin Henderson and rookie Ross Homan compete for the job.

A three-year starter at weak-side linebacker for the Buckeyes, Homan racked up an impressive seven career interceptions and was Ohio State’s leading solo tackler in each of his final two seasons. Homan doesn’t have exceptional measurables (6'0/229, 4.68 speed), but showed a knack for making big plays in coverage. He could be a special teamer and nickel ‘backer in Minnesota.
