Running the football has not been a strength of the Minnesota Vikings. After several years of being near the top in that category thanks to Adrian Peterson and a strong offensive line, the team has struggled to recreate that success.
Earlier this year, the Vikings tried to help out the situation by bringing in former Denver Broncos running back Ronnie Hillman. experienced running back accumulated 18 carries for Minnesota, gaining 50 yards.
An average of 2.8 yards per carry isn’t good, but it sadly better than the Vikings average of 2.7. Still, it was announced today on the official Minnesota Vikings website that the team has moved on from Hillman on the roster.
