Pride Of Detroit on Sione Vaki
From the article
But Vaki's banked some pretty good reps in practice, and we know Vaki's a very valuable special teams player, too. But we feel like Vaki's ready to take some of this on, too, as a runner and as a pass protector and a receiver.
STACKED’s take
Campbell endorses Vaki as primary backup; position transition risk with limited career snaps.
Campbell's comments suggest Vaki is the primary backup RB despite the question focusing on Saylors; Campbell emphasized Vaki's readiness as a runner, pass protector, and receiver, noting he's 'banked some pretty good reps in practice' and is 'a very valuable special teams player.' Vaki has gotten significant recent work in training camp, regularly repping immediately behind Gibbs while Pacheco has been out, and has flashed ability to catch the football with pass protection as an early strength. However, Vaki is entering Year 3 with just seven career carries, three catches, and 27 total offensive snaps, and missed over a week of training camp with a broken nose and eye injury, plus saw no preseason action.
