It’s well-known that Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is a proud graduate of Minnesota State University, Mankato.
But Thielen won’t be the only former Mavericks football player on the field Sunday in Jacksonville.
Jaguars left guard Chris Reed played with Thielen for two years in Mankato.
Mark Craig of the Star Tribune caught up with the former Mavericks to chronicle their journey to the NFL and what Sunday will be like.
Craig wrote:
Thielen and Reed were starters together in 2011 and 2012, when the Mavericks went 14-1 en route to the national championship game.
