What happened: Cody Schrader broke a tackle attempt and made a defender miss during Saturday's preseason game between the Vikings and Broncos, aired on NFL Network. The run came in a live preseason setting where roster bubble players are fighting for tape.
Why it matters: Making defenders miss in space is a skill that translates regardless of scheme, and preseason snaps like this are exactly what decision-makers weigh when trimming to 53. If Schrader keeps flashing that burst, it's hard to justify keeping him off the final roster.
