Vikings running back Matt Asiata took on a large role in 2014, rushing for nine touchdowns and over 500 yards. This season, Asiata is listed further down on the depth chart at his position but he has still found a role and a way to be productive for the Vikings.
Head Coach Mike Zimmer has noticed Asiata’s value to his team so far this season.
“I think Asiata is a good, tough runner that has good feet. I think he does a lot of good things for this football team and not just running the ball – pass protection.
