The Minnesota Vikings just added some youth to their backfield at No. 198 by drafting Demond Claiborne, an athlete who showed out at the NFL Combine with a 4.37-second 40-yard dash (93rd-percentile) and a massive 106.8 Speed Score. Claiborne posted a dominant 1,049-yard breakout season and chipped in on special teams with a 26.3 yards per kick return average, proving he possesses the elite “home run” gear and the 91st-percentile burst to erase pursuit angles in Kevin O’Connell’s zone-heavy scheme.

 

In dynasty formats, Claiborne landed in a spot where he can serve as an elite handcuff, with little upside unless there is an injury to incumbent Aaron Jones.
