Make that two touchdowns in two preseason games for former UNC running back [autotag]Ty Chandler[/autotag].
A week after he scored a touchdown on a kick return, Chandler was the lone Minnesota Viking to find the end zone in Saturday’s 17-7 preseason loss to San Francisco. Chandler found the end zone late in the first half to give the Vikings a 7-3 lead over the 49ers.
Watch as Chandler takes it in from a few yards out for his second preseason touchdown here in 2022:

After spending one season in Chapel Hill, Chandler was selected in the fifth round of the 2022 NFL Draft. He joined a pretty crowded Vikings backfield led by Dalvin Cook but so far Chandler has been impressive.
He rushed for 19 yards on 5 carries on Saturday after injuring himself in practice earlier in the week.
