For years, the Minnesota Vikings boasted one of the best one-two tandems at wide receiver in the NFL.
This, thanks to the dual-threat prowess of standout pass catchers Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen, who both pushed and complemented each other in head coach Mike Zimmer’s passing game.
Diggs is now gone, of course, traded off to the Buffalo Bills during the offseason, while Thielen will look to bounce back from a 2019 campaign in which he was slowed by a serious hamstring injury.
There’s little questioning Thielen is now the Alpha-1 of this newly revamped group, which brought in two notable rookies among the 13 other selections the Minnesota Vikings made during the 2020 NFL Draft, LSU’s Justin Jefferson and Miami’s K.
