Hunt most recently backed up Nick Chubb in his fourth season with the Cleveland Browns. He recorded 468 yards and three touchdowns on 123 carries, adding 210 yards and a touchdown through the air.

After releasing Pro Bowl running back Dalvin Cook in June, the Vikings could be looking for a veteran to help lighten the workload for expected starter Alexander Mattison, especially after he suffered an injury earlier this month.
