Jordan Mason, a running back recently traded to the Minnesota Vikings from the San Francisco 49ers, expressed enthusiasm about his new opportunity in a press conference. He praised the offensive scheme of Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell, particularly appreciating the commitment to give him the ball. Mason’s playing style, characterized by physicality and resilience, complements fellow running back Aaron Jones, especially as the Vikings look to improve their red-zone performance. Last season, Mason showcased his strength, forcing missed tackles on 37% of his carries, the highest rate in the NFL for players with over 150 attempts. With 789 yards and three touchdowns from 153 carries, Mason proved valuable in a backup role behind Christian McCaffrey. Notably undrafted out of Georgia Tech, Mason credits his success to heart and determination. He has already begun building rapport with his new teammates and is eager to contribute to the Vikings’ quest for a Super Bowl.
