De'Mond Claiborne was literally the fastest player in college football last season... he is going to be the primary kick returner for the Minnesota Vikings... Isaiah Pacheco, was a day three pick who found himself active because he was a really good kick returner for the Kansas City Chiefs
STACKED’s take
Fastest college RB in 2026; primary kick returner with clear Vikings path
Claiborne was the fastest player in college football in 2026 per NCAA ratings and one of the best kick returners, posting a 101-yard return in under 5 seconds. He lands with the Vikings—a team the source likes—behind two aging veterans: Jordan Mason (an average interior rusher with no passing-game utility; fewer than 40 targets in four seasons) and Aaron Jones (inefficient last season with 4.9 yards per target and a 14-carry, 7.6-point outing; lowest yards per game since his rookie year at age 31). Claiborne has the physical tools to impact the running game and will be the primary kick returner, a path to early playing time similar to Isaiah Pacheco's success with Kansas City. The source anticipates Claiborne could earn 5 rushes and 1 target in his first NFL game and is currently undrafted in most leagues, making him a waiver-wire priority.
