- Appearing on Good Morning Football Tuesday, Vikings running back Latavius Murray stated that “this is my time, this is my opportunity” to take hold of the lead back role in the Minnesota offense. Murray and rookie Dalvin Cook will likely battle in training camp to replace Adrian Peterson as the Vikings main ball-carrier.
- Murray signed as a free agent in Minnesota this offseason after spending the first four years of his career in Oakland. He led Raiders halfbacks in snaps played in 2016 with 525, but shared time with DeAndre Washington (240 snaps) and Jalen Richard (235 snaps).
- Murray increased his overall PFF grade each season with the Raiders, finishing 2016 with a 73.1 grade that ranked 21st among running backs. His 2.60 yards after contact per attempt was 28th out of 57 backs with at least 100 touches in 2016.
