Adam Thielen, the Green Bay Packer? It almost happened in the 2013 NFL draft

Scratch that. Adam Thielen should have been drafted by the Packers in the seventh round in 2013 and should still be a Packer to this day.

“I do remember the Packers had interest before the draft,” the Vikings receiver said last week.

They also had three seventh-round picks, two of which they used on receivers. Those receivers caught one ball for the Packers and are long gone from the league.

“The Packers were one of two teams that came up and talked to me right after the regional combine ended at Cowboys Stadium that year,” Thielen said.
