Vikings Sign Highly Ranked UDFA RB as Possible Ty Chandler Replacement

The Minnesota Vikings added the No. 2-ranked undrafted free agent quarterback in Max Brosmer following the conclusion of the NFL draft and followed that up by signing a highly-ranked UDFA running back to join him in training camp.

Minnesota signed former Jacksonville State rusher Tre Stewart, who NFL.com ranked as the 14-best undrafted RB available. Stewart stands at 5-feet, 8-inches tall and weighs 186 pounds.

“Stewart played only one season at Jacksonville State after starring at Limestone University, but he maintained his level of performance, posting 1,000-plus rushing yards for the third consecutive year,” Lance Zierlein of NFL.com wrote. “He’s undersized but processes lane development quickly and is efficient in getting to his action as a runner. He’s below average as a third-down option and his fumbles in 2024 were a concern.”
