From the article

And with Jordan Mason out until after the bye-week, the Vikings just added Devin 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... he's a back that'll get what's blocked for him, but isn't able to create much on his own.

Neal (3.6 YPC last year) fits zone scheme but lacks creation ability.

Neal was recently added to the Vikings running back room after Jordan Mason's IR placement. He averaged just 3.6 yards per carry last year with the Saints. The source characterizes him as a good fit for a zone-scheme offense with good ball security, receiving ability, and adequate pass protection. At 23 years old in his second NFL season, Neal is a back that will get what's blocked for him but isn't able to create much on his own, limiting his upside.
