NFL draft analyst Todd McShay was singing rookie running back Ty Chandler’s praises the moment his name came off the board after being selected with the No. 169 overall pick of the 2022 NFL draft by the Minnesota Vikings.
“I love this guy—one of my favorite players in the entire draft class,” McShay said on the live broadcast draft panel at the 2022 NFL draft. “I’m surprised he’s at pick five, and I would say congratulations, Minnesota, you’ve got a starting running back. But they’ve already got a pretty good one in Dalvin Cook. So, a great backup—let’s put it that way.”
McShay has been calling Chandler a future steal for months.
