EDEN PRAIRIE, Minn. — The most anticipated matchup of the Vikings rookie minicamp didn’t disappoint on the first day.
First-round wide receiver Laquon Treadwell battled against second-round cornerback Mackensie Alexander on multiple occasions Friday afternoon, with both players getting the better of each other at times.
The duo went against each other in one-one drills with Alexander draping himself on Treadwell in tight coverage on a hook route. But Treadwell responded the next time out by getting past Alexander on a medium dig route toward the middle of the field.
Alexander, who lined up as a nickel cornerback at times, also had solid coverage with sixth-round wide receiver Moritz Boehringer.
