Vikings Sign RB Antone Smith

According to a Tweet from @VikingsFootball, a new name has been added to the roster: rookie runningback Antone Smith.

Smith signed with the Detroit Lions on May 8 as an undrafted free agent but was cut on July 27. He had a great high-school career, being named the top runningback recruit in the nation as well as being named a Parada All-American, Palm Beach County Player of the Y ear, Old Spice National Player of the Year, and MVP of both the Nike Camp and the CalFlorida Bowl.

Clearly, Smith has an impressive resume. And an incredibly fast 40 time of 4.25.

He could be a very nice third RB option and special teams player thanks to his great speed.
