The Minnesota Vikings are hosting Ole Miss wide receiver De'Zhaun Stribling for a Top 30 visit today, according to Ian Rapoport of NFL Network. The meeting marks a key step in the pre-draft evaluation process for the Rebels standout as he meets with team leadership at the Vikings' facilities.
Stribling is currently managing a heavy schedule of team interest, with the Vikings visit representing one of seven total visits he has scheduled with NFL organizations this spring. The wideout has built a reputation for consistency and production, having posted back-to-back 800-yard seasons during his collegiate career. His ability to maintain that level of yardage has made him a notable name for teams seeking receiving depth in the upcoming NFL Draft.
Top 30 visits are a critical component of the NFL's pre-draft evaluation period. Each team is permitted to bring in up to 30 out-of-area prospects to their facilities for in-depth interviews, medical checks, and meetings with coaching staffs. By using one of these limited slots on Stribling, the Minnesota Vikings are signaling a clear interest in his potential fit within their offensive system.
As the draft approaches, Stribling remains one of the more active prospects on the visit circuit. No further details regarding the specifics of the meeting or potential contract interest have been released at this time.
