In the 2016 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings used their first-round draft pick on Mississippi wide receiver Laquon Treadwell in hopes of finding a long-term answer at a position where they had a great need.
Instead, two other players stepped up in a big way. Adam Thielen and Stefon Diggs have established themselves as one of the best pass-catching duos in the NFL, leaving Treadwell to share reps with Jarius Wright and Michael Floyd.
With Wright being reported to be signing with the Panthers after being released on Friday and Floyd still a free agent, this opens things up for Treadwell to make an impact and get more playing time during the 2018 NFL season.
