Minnesota Vikings Draft Domonique Orange: A Powerful Addition to the Defense

The Minnesota Vikings have selected Iowa State defensive tackle Domonique Orange with the 82nd overall pick in the 2026 NFL Draft. Standing at 62 and weighing 322 pounds, Orange brings impressive strength and agility to the field. Despite a slight dip in performance last season, he showcased his potential with three-and-a-half tackles for loss in the final five games of 2024. Oranges powerful weightlifting abilities, including a 455-pound bench press and 650-pound squat, make him an ideal run-stuffing anchor in a four-three scheme. Vikings fans can expect a formidable presence in the middle of the defense.
