K.J. Osborn hypes the return of “Three Deep”
Yes, that’s Kirk Cousins and not Adam Thielen. I couldn’t find a pic with all three WRs in it.I had originally put this down in the FanPosts, but it’s so sweet that I figured it needed its own story.
The phrase “Three Deep” has a special meaning for fans of the Minnesota Vikings, as it was the nickname bestowed upon one of the great wide receiver trios not only in team history, but in the history of the NFL. It came about during the 1998 season that featured a pair of outstanding veterans in Cris Carter and Jake Reed and the addition of a young rookie named Randy Moss. Those three receivers helped the Vikings to what was then the highest-scoring offense in NFL history.
