  "account": "Minnesota Vikings running back Aaron Jones expressed admiration for his young teammate Demond Claiborne, describing him as \"special\" amid training camp. The Vikings are placing increased emphasis on their rushing attack in 2026, thanks to the addition of Frank Smith, a former Miami Dolphins offensive coordinator, who is helping to implement a wide-zone rushing attack. Claiborne, a sixth-round selection out of Wake Forest, impressed Jones with his ability to navigate cuts effectively. Jones, a veteran with over 7,600 career rushing yards and 73 touchdowns, also sees himself as a mentor to Claiborne, urging him to succeed and maintain a long NFL career.",
