Cutting was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings in the seventh round (250th overall) of the 2019 NFL draft. [3] There had been precedent, such as Joe Cardona of the 2015 NFL draft, for military school graduates to be allowed to defer their 24-month service policy, [4] but the United States Secretary of Defense rescinded the policy in 2017 to allow military service academy student-athlete graduates to delay their assignments to explore professional sports opportunities. In June 2019, US President Donald Trump requested that a policy be established to facilitate athletic pursuits and Cutting was the first to sign a professional contract following the new policy. [5]
