Heading into the draft, Grant was rated highly but not among the top of his class in terms of talent.

Draft

Despite being one of the highest-rated running backs in the draft, concerns over his small-school background and lack of experience facing stronger teams and players made him fall to the second round.

Minnesota Vikings

Even Grant started as a Rookie with the Vikings in 2022. His ability to run the ball with a strong pocket passing QB is something Minnesota desperately needed to give a second dimension to the passing offense.
