With the 96th pick in the 2014 NFL Draft, the Vikings selected Georgia Southern running back Jerick McKinnon . He worked as a quarterback and a running back in Georgia Southern's triple-option offense and also played as a defensive back.

"He's elusive, he has great speed in the open field," Spielman said. "He kind of gives us that dynamic third-down type back that will give us a little spark when he comes in."

McKinnon is 5-foot-9 and 209 pounds and ran a 4.37 in the 40-yard dash.
