Beason, who played for the Panthers from 2007-13 and the Giants from 2013-15, now works as an analyst for CBS Sports. He recently graded a few free agency moves across the league, including the Vikings signing of former Raiders running back Latavius Murray.
Viking Update’s Tim Yotter highlighted Beason’s assessment of the transaction and said the ‘B’ grade given to Minnesota was the best of three running back moves he reviewed. Beason referred to Murray as “a younger version of Adrian Peterson.”
“I think the guy is a special talent that can do it all – he can take it the distance, he’s good catching the ball and he runs behind his pads,” Beason said.
