Alexander Mattison Compared To Latavius Murray
6 years agoMinnesota Vikings running back Alexander Mattison, selected late in the third round of the draft, has similarities to Latavius Murray, who previously backed up Dalvin Cook. Mattison, 5-foot-11, 221 pounds, resembles Murray in stature and also had the third most missed tackles of any running back in the draft in 2018. There's little doubt that Cook will be the workhorse in this backfield, but Mattison's workhorse tendencies should mesh well as the complement to Cook. Mattison hopes to contribute between the tackles and by catching passes out of the backfield. Consider Mattison a strong handcuff pick to Cook in 2019.
