Laquon Treadwell is a perfect fit for the Vikings offense

Falling to No. 23 was a blessing in disguise for the former Ole Miss star. In Minnesota, Treadwell finds a promising young quarterback and a system that plays to his strengths.

Laquon Treadwell ended up being the fourth receiver off the board in the 2016 NFL Draft, a rough slide in terms of ego and zeroes -- Treadwell will make about $1.7 million less than Corey Coleman, who went eight picks earlier. From a football standpoint, however, falling to the Vikings at No. 23 might be the best thing that could have happened to the former Ole Miss star.
