Vikings Draft Max Bredeson: New Bruiser in Backfield

0:00On April 25th, the Minnesota Vikings just found their next bruiser in the backfield after CJ Ham's 10-season run comes to an end with retirement. They grabbed fullback and tied in Max Bredison from Michigan with the 150-9th pick in the 2026 NFL draft. Bredison topped every consensus board as the best fullback by a mile, making him the perfect fit to slide right into Ham's role. Fans have been buzzing about who would fill those big shoes and this pick brings immediate impact as a starter plus some special team spark. He's a three-year starter in Michigan and the brother of Tampa Bay Buccaneer's Guard Ben Bredison, so he's got that football bloodline. Now the Vikings' backfield stays tough, ready to grind defenses all over again. This has been NFL News Today, powered by AI. I'm Cory with the story.
