Former Vikings Cornerback Comes Up Clutch in UFL Championship Game

Former Vikings third-round pick Cameron Dantzler delivered a pivotal play in the Louisville Kings’ 27-20 United Football League title win over the D.C. Defenders. In the fourth quarter, he tracked down an underthrown deep ball, intercepted it, and returned it 49 yards to set up a go-ahead score. He also recovered a fumble earlier in the game and finished the regular season tied for the team lead with seven pass breakups, adding an earlier pick-six against the Memphis Showboats in 2025. Dantzler, 28 this fall and last in the NFL with the Saints in 2023, was a key part of a Louisville defense that sealed the championship, joining other former Vikings on the roster.
