EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. -- Adam Thielen’s record-setting season has the NFL world abuzz. Thielen topped 1,000 yards in his first 11 games this season, becoming the first Vikings receiver to reach that mark (along with 70 catches) since Randy Moss in 2003.
Minnesota’s receivers haven’t relished in these types of accomplishments for years. But it’s the story behind Thielen’s journey as an undrafted Division II star to becoming one of the best receivers in the NFL that has captivated many, including Moss.
The NFL’s all-time leading receiver was in town Wednesday to shoot a feature with Thielen that will air Sunday on ESPN's NFL Countdown.
