The vikings

He loves playing for the Vikings and living in the Twin Cities. He's hopeful we can work out a long-term deal to keep him there.

He's just a very natural runner, ... He doesn't have Bennett's breakaway speed, but few backs do. We know this much: He's the most physically talented running back on the roster. He just doesn't have Michael's speed. But if he can come in here and handle the load, he's got a pretty shot to be our No. 1 back this season.
