Vikings WR K.J. Osborn brutally disrespected by NFL social graphic
By Adam Patrick
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver K.J. Osborn was not included in a recent social media graphic that was shared on the official NFL Twitter account.
During the last two seasons, K.J. Osborn of the Minnesota Vikings has hauled in more touchdown passes (12) than some of the most notable wide receivers in the NFL, including Keenan Allen, Terry McClaurin, D.J. Moore, and Amon-Ra St. Brown.
Despite his improvements in the last two years, Osborn wasn't included in a recent NFL social media graphic about how the Vikings, Los Angeles Chargers, and Seattle Seahawks all improved their receiving corps during this year's NFL Draft.
Minnesota Vikings WR K.J. Osborn deserves to be with his teammates on NFL social media graphic
While the Chargers and Seahawks both have three receivers featured in the graphic, Minnesota only has two pass-catchers included in their section, Justin Jefferson and rookie Jordan Addison.
It's fine to think that Osborn currently is not a No. 1 receiver in the NFL, or even a No. 2 receiver. But to not include him in a graphic that features teams' top three wide receivers is just straight-up disrespectful.
Of the 98 wide receivers drafted since 2020, Osborn is one of 11 players that has accumulated at least 110 catches and 1,300 receiving yards in the last three years. The dude has held his own during his time in the league and he's continued to make progress in each of his three seasons.
There is no reason for him not to be included with Jefferson and Addison in this graphic. Osborn has earned his spot as one of the Vikings' top three receivers on their current roster, at the very, very least.
