We all know the feel good story of Minnesota Vikings’ wide receiver Adam Thielen. Thielen is the first Vikings’ receiver in nearly a decade to go over 1,000 receiving yards in a season, and has quickly established himself among the NFL’s elite at the position.
Many have wondered how a receiver like Thielen continues to get so wide open on a regular basis, and another one of our SB Nation film gurus has a breakdown of exactly what’s making Thielen such a great receiver.
Samuel Gold, who writes for Field Gulls (SB Nation’s home for the Seattle Seahawks) did a pretty extensive breakdown of how Thielen has gotten to where he is now.
