Pruitt is a matchup problem and embodies the reason two-tight end sets gained steam in the past several years. They were initially popularized by Bill Belichick.
The Southern Illinois product has the ability to make defenses "always wrong" when he steps out onto the field because he can do so many things.
His forte is playing up the seam and winning with speed, threatening deep downfield, though his after-catch vision and power with the ball in his hands give him another dimension that many other tight ends don't have.
Either one of those facets to his game is new to the Vikings' tight end corps.
