NFL writer Arye Pulli reported the Minnesota Vikings are hosting wide receiver CJ Daniels on a pre-draft visit.
The Minnesota Vikings will again feature a potential top wide receiver duo with Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison next season. But that doesn’t mean the Vikings won’t add a receiver in the later rounds of the 2026 NFL Draft. Should that happen, Minnesota targeting a potential sleeper such as CJ Daniels could make a lot of sense.
The Vikings are doing their research on Daniels two weeks ahead of the 2026 NFL Draft. NFL writer Arye Pulli reported Wednesday the Vikings are hosting Daniels on a pre-draft visit.
Pulli called the wideout a natural pass catcher and Day 3 sleeper.
“Daniels, one of the most natural pass catchers in this class, will also visit the Dolphins soon, a source says,” wrote Pulli on X. “He is a legitimate Day 3 sleeper.”

Last season for the Miami Hurricanes, Daniels posted 50 receptions for 557 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. He did that while playing his first campaign for Miami.
To begin his college career, Daniels spent four seasons at Liberty and one year at LSU.
Over six college seasons, he amassed 198 receptions, 2,996 receiving yards and 28 touchdowns.
