Yesterday the Vikings signed running back Bishop Sankey to the practice squad, a name familiar to most draftniks and diehard NFL fans. But Sankey is someone who many Vikings fans may not know. With a historically awful Vikings running game this season that is averaging only 2.8 yards per carry, does Sankey offer any light at the end of the tunnel? The short answer is: probably not. But here is his story so far.
Bishop Sankey attended the University of Washington from 2011-2013 where he ran for 3,495 yards as a 2-year starter, averaging 5.4 yards per carry.
