Bleacher Report suggested a breakout player on each team in the NFL. The outlet’s pick for the Vikings is something of a surprise.
Bleacher Report thinks that Minnesota’s breakout player for 2020-21 will be running back Mike Boone.
It had this to say about the pick:
“Even though Mike Boone is behind Dalvin Cook on the Minnesota Vikings depth chart, he’ll have an opportunity to carve out a much larger role in the backfield.
Entering his third season with the Vikings, Boone saw limited action in 2019 but made the most of his touches. He carried the ball just 49 times but ran for 273 yards and three touchdowns, averaging an impressive 5.6 yards per carry.”
An interesting choice to say the least, considering Cook is still on the team. But maybe the Vikings shy even more away from passing with offensive coordinator Gary Kubiak, who took the place of Kevin Stefanski. I still think the breakout player will likely be someone else besides Boone.
