Draft
Teddy Walker was considered one of the top three cornerbacks in the 2018 Draft, along with Will Hall of USC and Ivory Hull of Texas. Walker was selected with the 3rd pick in the 1st Round by the Kansas City Chiefs. He was the first cornerback selected in the draft. The Chiefs took Walker with the intention of improving their historically bad secondary from the year before.
2024
Walker had his worst season yet and was traded minutes before the trade deadline to the Minnesota Vikings for a 2025 5th Round Pick and a 2026 2nd Round Pick. In his debut with the Vikings his bad season continued posting the worst rating of anyone on the team in week 9. PFF labeled him as the 5th worst Cornerback for QBR Allowed in the league at a QBR rating of 138.5. Hoping to get him out of his rut and make up for the loss of a second round pic Coach Minnow is taking things slow with him and doing team activities that would help his transition into the new franchise.
