Freshman running back Tavien Feaster will wear number 28 this season, with the blessing of current New Orleans Saints running back C.J. Spiller.
But Spiller says wearing the number comes with an obligation.
Feaster is a 5-star 2016 running back commit out of Spartanburg (SC) that should see playing time this season. Feaster wore the number as a Viking, but Spiller’s jersey was retired during a ceremony in November of 2010. Many wondered if Spiller would allow the talented prospect to don his number, and it was confirmed when the school released the official roster late last week.
