Another name on O'Hara's list will ring familiar for Vikings fans: Eagles safety Anthony Harris.
Harris spent the first six seasons of his NFL career in Minnesota after signing as an undrafted rookie in 2015. He joined Philadelphia this spring as a free agent.
O'Hara ranked Harris ninth on his list.
After leading the league in INTs in 2019, Harris had a letdown season in Minnesota while playing on the franchise tag in 2020. He signed a one-year, prove-it deal with the Eagles this offseason. The success of the Philadelphia defense will depend on its health, something the team hasn't been able to sustain since its Super Bowl run. If the Eagles can keep their defensive stars on the field, Harris is primed to have a bounce-back year as he reunites with Eagles DC Jonathan Gannon, who was the Vikings assistant defensive backs coach during Harris' first three seasons.
And topping the rankings ahead of Thielen? O'Hara listed Bucs linebacker Shaquil Barrett at No. 1, Chargers running back Austin Ekeler at No. 2 and Ravens longtime kicker Justin Tucker at No. 3.
The Vikings are scheduled to see Tucker and Ekeler in back-to-back road games in Weeks 9 and 10. O'Hara noted the following of Ekeler:
Everybody talks about Justin Herbert and his tremendous rookie season, and rightfully so, but Ekeler has been outstanding since taking over the full-time role in the backfield. While he's proven to be reliable on first and second down, his biggest strength is as a receiver out of the backfield – an asset new Chargers [Offensive Coordinator] Joe Lombardi will love to use in his system.
