From the article

he averaged just 3.6 yards per carry last year with the Saints. From his scouting reports, Neal is a good fit as a zone-scheme back with good ball security and receiving ability. Watching his tape from last season, he's a back that'll get what's blocked for him, but isn't able to create much on his own.

Neal averaged 3.6 YPC with Saints; gets what's blocked but can't create on his own.

The Vikings added Neal to the running back room, but he averaged just 3.6 yards per carry last year with the Saints. From his scouting reports, Neal is a good fit as a zone-scheme back with good ball security and receiving ability, and not terrible as a pass protector. He's just 23 and in his second year in the league. Watching his tape from last season, he's a back that'll get what's blocked for him, but isn't able to create much on his own.
