Finding a place in the NFL was an uphill climb for Adam Thielen. The undrafted free agent from Minnesota State University, Mankato fought hard to earn an invitation to Minnesota Vikings training camp in 2013 and has been fighting ever since.
Through hard work and dedication, Thielen has risen from relative obscurity during his 3 season with the Vikings to become a starting wide receiver during the 2016 NFL season. His efforts also landed him a nice 4 year deal with the Vikings worth over $19 million, and even more if he reaches certain escalators in his contract.
