Former Vikings running back continuing his career in new football league

Much like another former Minnesota Vikings running back before him, Leroy Hoard, Matt Asiata was very consistent with what he brought to the field each week.

If the Vikings needed Asiata to get them a yard, he got them a yard. And if Minnesota needed him to gain three yards, well, he still got them just one yard.

Now, after spending five seasons with the Vikings and a brief stint with the Detroit Lions in 2017, Asiata is taking his talents to the new Alliance of American Football league. The former Minnesota running back has signed on with the AAF’s Salt Lake Stallions.
