In 12 games this season, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Jarius Wright has just 14 catches. A drastic difference in the 42 passes he hauled in just three seasons ago for the Vikings in 2014.

But of Wright’s 14 receptions, 11 of them have resulted in a first down or a touchdown for Minnesota this year. If the receiver is getting a pass thrown his way on third down this season, there is a very good chance that his efforts will amount to the Vikings getting a new set of downs.

In his sixth year with Minnesota, Wright is making the best of his opportunities on the field for his team no matter how few or frequent they may come each week.
