The Thielen Path Gets Another Traveller as Vikings Add a Local Receiver

The Thielen path has found a new traveller.

Yesterday, KSTP’s Darren Wolfson confirmed that WR Garett Maag has signed a deal with the Minnesota Vikings. The Wolfson tweet was in response to the initial word form Tanner Phifer, who first noted the news on Twitter.

The Thielen Path and Garett Maag

Seeing as how Maag is from Inver Grove Heights, Minnesota, plenty of Vikings fans will instinctively make the connection to Thielen. The veteran is from Detroit Lakes, Minnesota. It took some time (alongside plenty of hard work, effort, and competition), but Thielen eventually distinguished himself as being among the team’s best receivers and, indeed, the league more broadly.
