Episode Details

Demond Claiborne, a blazing-fast sixth-round rookie running back, is lighting up the Vikings’ depth chart with his 4.37-second 40-yard dash and explosive college tape. With Aaron Jones aging and Jordan Mason focused on pure speed, Claiborne’s versatility—especially his return game touchdowns—could carve out a bigger role. Coaching guru Frank Smith, who molded De’Von Achane’s success in Miami, might be the key to unlocking Claiborne’s potential. This season is his audition: if he proves he can break tackles and handle the load, he could be Minnesota’s future RB1. With a four-year contract, the Vikings have time—but if he doesn’t deliver, the draft could be their next move.
