Rookie fullback Max Bredeson has quickly earned trust inside the Vikings' building and is earning playing time. O'Connell was enthusiastic about Bredeson's physical style and football intelligence, noting "You have to remind yourself sometimes that he's a rookie." O'Connell described him as a rare player who is "wildly intelligent" despite playing one of the game's most rugged positions, and expressed gratitude: "We're so fortunate to have Max."

Underrated for TJ Hockenson: Max Bredeson, Vikings 5th round pick at FB, is getting a lot of praise and was used a lot in preseason New OC, Frank Smith, comes from the Dolphins who used a FB at a top rate in the NFL Also used Josh Oliver a lot in preseason with the 1st team (blocking TE but every few snaps leak into route shares) Then also competing with some snaps with Jauan Jennings, who is a solid blocker as well We may not get a huge route share from TJ Hockenson once you stack everything up

Bredesen is a more versatile, mobile fullback/H-back type than his C.J. Hamm predecessor, which the source believes Kevin O'Connell will prefer because he can do more with him. However, the source questions how often Minnesota will actually throw to him given the talent at receiver (Justin Jefferson, Addison, Juwan, Hawkinson), noting that if he's not as good a run blocker as past fullbacks, the one or two catches per game may not justify the pick. The source expects him to bring alignment versatility rather than receiving production, with likely fewer than 17-18 receptions for the season.

Bredeson is definitely getting reps at fullback with the first and second team and has also had a couple receptions. The source thinks the hope with him is that he'll be worthy of more reps at fullback than C.J. Ham got last year. The source hasn't seen any of the spectacular blocks yet in training camp that litter his highlight reels at Michigan, but he'll be one to watch in preseason games. The source would not be surprised if he's an upgrade at fullback.
