The Minnesota Vikings are adding another dynamic playmaker to one of the best offensive backfields in the league with North Carolina running back Ty Chandler.
This is a tremendous value pick for the Vikings in the fifth round with a player capable of stepping on the field and contributing right away. At the very least, they could build him up to take over the lead backup duties behind Dalvin Cook if Alexander Mattison leaves in free agency in 2023.
Chandler was churning up yards like butter in his final college season—1,092 rushing yards and 13 touchdowns. He also ran a 4.38 40-yard dash.
This running back can flat out fly.
