After signing Aaron Jones earlier in the offseason, the Vikings were expected to target a running back in the 2025 NFL Draft. However, Mason’s arrival may alter those plans. The 25-year-old was a key contributor for the 49ers in 2024, logging 153 carries for 880 scrimmage yards and three touchdowns. He now joins Jones to form a formidable backfield duo in Minnesota.
This is a developing story.
