Laquon Treadwell – WR

2020 Stats (with Falcons):

  • 6 catches, 49 yards
  • 2 touchdowns

Before Justin Jefferson came along and re-wrote the NFL’s all-time rookie receiving records during the 2020 season, Laquon Treadwell was the last receiver to be drafted by the Vikings with a first-round pick.

Minnesota had high hopes for Treadwell when they drafted him, but he was never able to experience any sort of success during his time in purple and gold.

The former Vikings first-round pick wound up playing for the Atlanta Falcons last season. He appeared five games for the Falcons and he had a grand total of seven targets.

Despite already spending five seasons in the NFL, Treadwell is still only 25-years-old. The fact that he hasn’t been able to produce much during his time in the league, however, is something that should concern any team that might have interest in the young receiver this year.

Is there a team that can finally get Treadwell to live up to the potential Minnesota thought he had back in 2016 when they spent their first-round draft pick on him?
