After brief stint with the Vikings, Josh Doctson lands with a new team

Heading into the 2016 NFL Draft, it was believed by many that the Minnesota Vikings would be a great landing spot for TCU receiver Josh Doctson.

Doctson ended up getting selected by the Washington Redskins in 2016, one pick before it was the Vikings’ turn to make their first choice of the draft. With him off the board, Minnesota decided to select Ole Miss receiver Laquon Treadwell instead.

In 2019, however, the Vikings finally got their chance to add Doctson to their roster. Just prior to the start of last year’s regular season, Minnesota signed the receiver to a one-year deal following his release from the Redskins.
