4. Stefon Diggs (2015 – Now)

While Adam Thielen may have more career receiving yards in less starts, Diggs was able to rank higher on this list due to his knack for finding the end zone in his time with the Vikings. The receiver’s 15 touchdown catches are more than any other Vikings player in his position group over the last three seasons.

In addition to his time spent in the end zone, no Minnesota player in their first 40 games in the NFL has caught more passes than Diggs (200).

Looking at what he has accomplished in such a short amount of time with the Vikings makes it even more surprising that the receiver lasted all the way until the fifth round of the 2015 NFL Draft.

Diggs’ consistency is also why he belongs on this list. He is one of only three Minnesota receivers in the 21st century to have at least three seasons with 50 or more catches.

Being that he has not even reached his full potential yet, Diggs could easily end up as the best Vikings receiver of the entire century when it eventually comes to a close.
