Depending on who you ask, Kwesi Adofo-Mensah’s decision to sign TE Josh Oliver was a misguided move or one that was sneaky smart.
The 26-year-old tight end hasn’t taken the league by storm since arriving in 2019. Instead, he has battled injury and moved from Jacksonville to Baltimore. He set career highs in 2021, but the totals were modest: 14 catches, 149 yards, and 2 TDs. Keep in mind that 7 of his catches – exactly 50% – went for first downs.
In Minnesota, the mandate will look similar to the one in Baltimore since he’s being relied on as the TE2 to a sensational TE1.
