Presser Points: Treadwell 'A Viking at Heart'

EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. —The newest member of the Minnesota Vikings met the Twin Cities media on Friday afternoon at Winter Park.

Wide receiver Laquon Treadwell, the 23rd pick of the 2016 NFL Draft, was introduced by Vikings General Manager Rick Spielman and Head Coach Mike Zimmer.

Treadwell hoisted his new No. 11 Vikings jersey for photos with Spielman, Zimmer and members of the Wilf family, including Owner/Chairman Zygi Wilf and Owner/President Mark Wilf.

Here are four points from Treadwell’s introductory press conference:

Watched players more than teams

Although Treadwell grew up roughly 35 miles south of Chicago, he said he focused more on watching individual players throughout the league than the closest NFL team.
