Explore NFL player picksBlake Cashman Bio
Blake Cashman is an NFL linebacker for the Minnesota Vikings. As of September 16, 2026, he is on Minnesota’s active roster and is listed atop the team’s unofficial depth chart at linebacker. Cashman, who stands 6-foot-1 and weighs 235 pounds, was born May 10, 1996. A native of Eden Prairie, Minnesota, he returned to his home state when he joined the Vikings in March 2024.
Cashman played college football at Minnesota, beginning as a walk-on before earning a scholarship. The New York Jets selected him in the fifth round of the 2019 NFL Draft, and he later spent two seasons with the Houston Texans before signing with Minnesota. His role is that of an off-ball linebacker: he is trusted to diagnose plays, work in space and contribute as a blitzer. Vikings coverage has also identified him as the defense’s MIKE linebacker, a role that emphasizes communication and directing the front seven.
