Jeff Gladney Fantasy Stats

Arizona Cardinals cornerback Jeff Gladney, a former first-round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2020, was one of two people to die in a car accident in Dallas on Monday, according to his agent Brian Overstreet. "We are asking prayers for the family and privacy at this most difficult time," Overstreet said. Gladney started 15 games in his rookie year and had 81 tackles (63 solo), seven tackles for loss, three passes defensed and one forced fumble. He was released by the Vikings in August of last year after he was indicted on domestic-violence charges. He was found not guilty in March before signing with the Cardinals on a two-year deal.

Cornerback Jeff Gladney is signing a contract with the Arizona Cardinals, according to Jordan Schultz. The specifics of the contract have yet to be released. Gladney was a first round pick of the Minnesota Vikings in 2020. He was released by the Vikings last August after being indicted for domestic violence. As a rookie with the Vikings, he played in all 16 games and compiled 81 tackles while forcing a fumble. According to Schultz, the Cardinals like Gladney's ability to "play both inside and out."

The Cardinals will meet with cornerback Jeff Gladney on Tuesday evening. The 25-year-old was selected by the Minnesota Vikings in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft and recorded 81 total tackles throughout 16 games. However, he was released by the team in August after his arrest for a felony assault charge. Gladney has since been acquitted, and he will now look to resurrect his career in Arizona, an organization reportedly very interested in acquiring his services. Nevertheless, until he officially finds a new home, he won't have much fantasy value for managers in IDP formats.

Minnesota Vikings cornerback Jeff Gladney turned himself in to the Dallas County Jail on Monday after a family violence assault charge, according to the Dallas Police Department. The charges stem from an incident last Friday when Gladney allegedly assaulted a 22-year-old woman. The 24-year-old was a first-round pick out of TCU in 2020 and started 15 games for the Vikings last season. He faces a third-degree felony charge, which carries a possible sentence of two to 10 years in prison. Gladney was expected to be a key piece of the secondary in 2021, despite the additions of cornerbacks Mackensie Alexander and Patrick Peterson. Gladney totaled 81 tackles (seven for loss), three passes defensed and one forced fumble in 2020.

The Minnesota Vikings selected TCU cornerback Jeff Gladney with the No. 31 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft on Thursday. Gladney has dealt with some knee injuries, but he has plenty of upside at the next level because of his speed. He needs to learn how to finish better down the field, but he can also get up on the line of scrimmage in press coverage. Gladney is also more than happy to help in the running game. He's a feisty competitor and is a great blitzer, but he'll need to be coached up in Minnesota if he wants to reach his true ceiling. Gladney is surely in the right situation with the Vikings with defensive-minded head coach Mike Zimmer.
