The 2017 NFL Draft class is a deep one for running backs.
Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman addressed the media from the NFL Scouting Combine on Wednesday and said he doesn’t remember such a high number of running backs coming out during his 10-plus years in the league.
“We just got out of our draft meetings, and there’s a significant amount of talent at that position,” Spielman said.
It’s a theme of conversation across the board this year.
The Vikings announced Tuesday that they will not exercise the 2017 option on Adrian Peterson’s contract.
