Is Laquon Treadwell the biggest draft bust in Vikings history?

Wide receiver Laquon Treadwell’s time with the Minnesota Vikings is finally over. The former first-round pick has a fresh start after a hugely unsuccessful spell with the organization.

Much was expected of Treadwell when the Vikings took him with the 23rd overall pick out of Ole Miss in 2016. To say the wide receiver has underachieved during his time in Minnesota would be a massive understatement.

A category of errors during his tenor with the franchise caused Minnesota to cut the player last summer. He was eventually brought back to provide depth, but he failed to do enough to turn his career around.
