Latavius Murray’s vision can one daycarry him far beyond the football field.
The Vikings running back earned a 3.0 GPA this spring through online courses during his first semester in Syracuse’s Master of Business Administration program. The 27-year-old Murray even wrapped up some coursework at Winter Park during extended negotiations for his three-year, $15 million deal signed in March.
But Murray also has a chance to better his immediate future, that is should he seize the starting role ahead of Vikings rookie and heir apparent Dalvin Cook.
“We’ve got a long, long way to go before we make any determinations on that,” head coach Mike Zimmer said last week.
