For the past few years, Adam Thielen has been widely regarded as one of the better wide receivers in the entire NFL. He’s made multiple Pro Bowls, has been amongst the league leaders in touchdown catches multiple times, and he embodies the sentiment that hard work can help anyone accomplish their dreams.
It wasn’t always bright lights for Thielen, though. Vikings fans are well-aware of his humble beginnings as a Division II Minnesota State WR before being an undrafted free agent signing back in 2013. He had to slowly work his way up the roster from practice squad, to special teams contributor, to starting wide receiver.
