VIKINGS CAMP BUZZ: Jordan Mason Emerging as Potential Steal of the Offseason
Running back Jordan Mason has been turning heads and breaking expectations at Minnesota Vikings training camp, and multiple reports confirm—he looks fast, powerful, and absolutely locked in.
After quietly averaging an impressive 5.2 yards per carry on 153 attempts last season, Mason is now making a loud case for a major role in Minnesota’s revamped offense. Coaches and teammates alike are raving about his burst through the hole, physical running style, and relentless energy—traits that could make him the biggest steal of the offseason.
And that’s saying something considering the star-studded list of additions the Vikings have made in 2025.
With questions surrounding the backfield and a desire to balance out the offense under rookie QB J.J. McCarthy, Mason’s emergence couldn’t come at a better time. He’s running with purpose, vision, and attitude—looking like a man with something to prove.
“He’s not just a camp body—he’s a tone-setter,” one insider said. “He looks like he’s ready to take over.”
If Mason keeps this up, don’t be surprised if he earns the starting role—or at the very least becomes a critical part of the rotation. With his efficiency, toughness, and upside, he could be the surprise name that defines the Vikings’ offensive identity in 2025.
