Minnesota’s WR2 debate won’t settle down until after the draft.
If the Vikings opt for a highly-regarded receiver in RD1, then there will be an open competition for the spot opposite Justin Jefferson. If, however, Minnesota doesn’t snag a receiver early, then K.J. Osborn will be the clear-cut frontrunner to snag the job.
Entering Year 4 in the NFL, Osborn has shown flashes of brilliance. To my mind, he was the spark that lit the comeback fire in the historically great win over the Colts. Simply focusing on that game, though, shouldn’t hinder us from seeing that he has been a strong contributor for a little while.
