Vikings trade idea could unlock Jordan Mason’s full potential
Minnesota Vikings RB Jordan Mason | Jeffrey Becker-Imagn ImagesAs part of their effort to get under the salary cap, the Minnesota Vikings will be parting ways with running back Aaron Jones. That leaves Jordan Mason as their No. 1 running back, as should've been the case all season last season outside of the one game he missed.
But Mason has a notable shortcoming in his game. The Vikings, and the San Francisco 49ers before them, have been unwilling to use him as a pass catcher even when he has stepped into a big role.
A huge part of that is how bad he is as a pass blocker, with Pro Football Focus crediting him with 11 pressures allowed on 65 pass blocking snaps last season.
