Overview
- Max Bredeson, selected in the fifth round Saturday, went No. 159 to the Minnesota Vikings.
- The two-time Michigan captain projects as a versatile H-back and fullback who can cover multiple roles on offense and contribute on special teams, according to NFL evaluators.
- The pick follows C.J. Ham’s retirement and signals Minnesota wants to keep a true lead blocker in its run game.
- The selection reunites Bredeson with former Wolverines quarterback J.J. McCarthy and safety Josh Metellus on the Vikings roster.
- He finished his college season with a foot injury that sidelined him against Ohio State and in the bowl game, so his spring and summer workload will be monitored.
