Jerick McKinnon adds on muscle for Vikings
Minnesota Vikings running back Jerick McKinnon has bulked up to 211 pounds.
What It Means:
The added weight should help improve his strength between the tackles. McKinnon has been repping with the first team at OTAs, but rookie Dalvin Cook and free agent acquisition Latavius Murray are the favorites for Week 1 carries.
McKinnon's -0.13 Rushing Net Expected Points per carry last season were lowest among the 27 running backs to see 150-plus carries. In related news, the Vikings were worst in the NFL in 2016 in Adjusted Offensive Rushing Net Expected Points per play.
