Will Adam Thielen return to form for the Vikings in 2020?

Why he will return to form
Since he was given a shot to try out for the Vikings in 2013, Adam Thielen has been proving people wrong. It shouldn’t be any different in 2020 when he’ll be looking to show why he’s still one of the top receivers in the NFL.
Thielen showed signs of his old self during Minnesota’s impressive playoff win over the New Orleans Saints last season. During the contest, the Vikings receiver caught seven passes for 129 yards, including a 43-yard catch in overtime that set up the game-winning touchdown.
His performance against the Saints should give people hope that he can get back to being one of the top pass-catchers in the league again in 2020.
Plus, before 2019, there weren’t many reasons to believe that Thielen was nearing the end of his career. He was coming off of back-to-back years with at least 90 catches and 1,250 receiving yards and with a full offseason to heal, it’s very possible he could put up similar numbers again in 2020.
