WR, Special Teams Player Doing Whatever It Takes To Play With The Vikes
MANKATO, Minn. (WCCO) – A perfect example of doing what it takes to make the team is wide receiver and special teams player, Adam Thielen.
Thielen is right at home in Vikings training camp, as he went to college at Minnesota-State Mankato.
