Maryland wide receiver Tai Felton selected by Minnesota Vikings in 3rd round of 2025 NFL Draft

Maryland football wide receiver Tai Felton was selected by the Minnesota Vikings with the 102nd pick in the third round of the 2025 NFL Draft on Friday.

Last season, Felton took the national stage by storm. Throughout the first few weeks of the season, he was the NCAA’s leader in receiving yards, and was quarterback Billy Edwards’ safety blanket.

But Felton was no stranger to big plays, either, with touchdowns of 75 and 61 yards, respectively. On the year, he paced the Big Ten with 96 recpetions for 1,124 yards, and was named both third team Associated Press All-America and All-Big Ten first team.
