While the Vikings aren't expected to be major players in the free-agent pool of running backs, there are some intriguing names and situations here for two teams that made the NFC Playoffs (Philadelphia and Seattle).
Gore ranks third all-time with 15,347 rushing yards, and Ekeler was one of the NFL's top pass-catching backs in 2019 with 92 receptions for 993 yards and eight scores.
