Laquon Treadwell, wide receiver
Coming off a successful college career while at the University of Mississippi, many projected Treadwell to contribute immediately to a Minnesota offense that was in desperate need of some pass catching playmakers heading into the 2016 season.
But his first year in the NFL with the Vikings did not exactly go too well.
Treadwell finished 2016 with just one catch for 15 yards in nine games. Minnesota head coach Mike Zimmer is known for bringing his rookies along slowly, but it is hard to believe that even he could have envisioned the struggles his young wide receiver experienced last season.
The Vikings’ group of receivers could look very different in 2017, which could mean more opportunities for Treadwell. Will he be able to take advantage of them?
