Earlier on Thursday, KPRC2 Houston’s Aaron Wilson reported that the Minnesota Vikings worked out running back Jacques Patrick. Later on Thursday, Wilson reported that the Vikings also worked out running backs Abram Smith and Aaron Dykes.
Smith went undrafted in the 2022 NFL draft out of Baylor, but was the first overall pick in the XFL draft by the D.C. Defenders. They ended up finishing the regular season at 9-1 and lost in the XFL Championship Game. He rushed for 788 yards and seven touchdowns while earning All-XFL honors.
