From UDFA to Vikings Starter – Indiana’s Elite Return Specialist and Third-Down WR
Myles Price, the former Indiana Hoosiers WR, finished the 2024 season with 38 receptions for 466 yards and 3 TDs, ranking third in receiving yards behind Elijah Sarratt and Omar Cooper Jr. [1][2][3]. His true differentiator is his elite return ability: he forced 24 missed tackles on punts (Power 4-best) and ranked No. 5 nationally in punt return yardage (289) [4]. As an All-Big Ten honorable mention in 2024, Price started 11 of 13 games, showcasing durability and intensity [2]. Undrafted in 2025, he earned a 53-man roster spot with the Minnesota Vikings and was recently named their starting kick and punt returner after impressing in preseason and capitalizing on Rondale Moore’s injury [1]. His trajectory from undrafted free agent to starter reflects rare grit, adaptability, and high-intensity playmaking—making him a perfect fit for teams needing a dynamic return man and reliable third-down WR with playoff experience (scored a TD in Indiana’s first College Football Playoff game vs. Notre Dame) [8].
