Vikings free agency 2017: What running backs are available?
By Adam Patrick
Danny Woodhead
- 32-years-old
- 5-foot-9, 200 pounds
2016 stats (in two games with the San Diego Chargers)
- 19 carries, 116 rushing yards
- 6 catches, 35 receiving yards, 1 touchdown
If the goal for Minnesota is to shift into a more passing oriented offense next year, Woodhead could be a good player to add. However, he is basically just a little better version of Jerick McKinnon.
His lack of ability to stay healthy recently is a bit of a concern. In the past three seasons, Woodhead has missed a total 27 games.
Obviously not a candidate to be a starter, but he could end up becoming a favorite target for Sam “Dink-and-Dunk” Bradford if he ended up in Minnesota next year.
