Darius Anderson is another guy who deserves a lot more love than he is getting right now. He blends power and speed out of the backfield and can do it all as a runner. He runs through contact and keeps his legs moving to pick up every last yard.
Despite being a compact runner, Anderson still brings plenty of speed when he hits the hole and can turn a four-yard gain into 25 yards. A common theme here has been the ability to catch out of the backfield, something Anderson worked on during his final season. He posted a career-best 22 catches for 128 yards, showing that he can contribute in that aspect.
The Vikings would have a solid third running back who can block and catch out of the backfield. Darius Anderson may never be a dominant lead runner with a ton of numbers, but he will do all the small things.
