Former Vikings First-Rounder Visits 49ers

The Minnesota Vikings have had a few disappointing draft picks in recent years, but it’s hard to surpass the disappointment found in 2016 Vikings first-rounder Laquon Treadwell. The wide receiver was picked with the 23rd overall pick that year, and in a thin WR class, he was the fourth receiver off the board that year behind Corey Coleman (No. 15), Will Fuller (No. 21), and Josh Doctson (No. 22).

Treadwell never lived up to that first-round hype over his four years in Minnesota, totaling just 65 receptions, 701 receiving yards, and 2 TDs. His best season came in 2018 where he recorded 35 receptions, 302 yards, and a touchdown.
