There were some Irish monks who may have beat Leif by hundreds of years. We just don't know. Personally, I think America was visited sporatically by many over the millennia.

According to the Saga of the Greenlanders, Bjarni Herjolfsson discovered the lands to the west of Greenland before Leif, but he did not land. Leif was aware of Bjarni's voyage and retraced his route.
