From the episode

This is partially a C.J. Hamm replacement because he is a fullback. But he's more in the more versatile, more mobile, sort of fullback, H-back, hybrid type player that I think KOC is really going to like using.

STACKED’s take

NeutralRole

Max Bredesen brings alignment versatility but may see limited receiving opportunities behind elite Vikings receivers.

Bredesen is a more versatile, mobile fullback/H-back type than his C.J. Hamm predecessor, which the source believes Kevin O'Connell will prefer because he can do more with him. However, the source questions how often Minnesota will actually throw to him given the talent at receiver (Justin Jefferson, Addison, Juwan, Hawkinson), noting that if he's not as good a run blocker as past fullbacks, the one or two catches per game may not justify the pick. The source expects him to bring alignment versatility rather than receiving production, with likely fewer than 17-18 receptions for the season.
