National Football Post reports that the Vikings were among five teams who recently worked out North Dakota State running back John Crockett.
The projected late-round draft pick also reportedly had private work outs with the Falcons, Texans, Titans and Jaguars.
The 6-0, 217-pound Crockett was a top performer at the combine in the vertical jump (40 inches) and broad jump (125 inches) and ran a 4.62 40.
Scouts like Crockett’s non-stop energy – every one of them mentions his nickname “Taz” after the whirlwind Tasmanian Devil – and his experience as a pro-style runner at NDSU.
