The arrival of Flores in 2023 provided an instant boost in pedigree and strategy, with his relentless blitzing and effective disguises fueling a 10-game stretch with six opponents held to 17 points or fewer, but the injuries and struggles among the defensive backs and linebackers piled up down the stretch.

Now, the Vikings have restocked with more depth and experience for Flores to run his system without limitation. Jonathan Greenard and rookie Dallas Turner have enhanced the edge rusher roles along with the versatile Andrew Van Ginkel.
