The former Minnesota Vikings draft pick was never able to emerge as a reliable wide receiver.
Back in 2013, the Minnesota Vikings entered the NFL Draft with two first-round picks thanks to the compensation they received from the Seattle Seahawks in exchange for wide receiver Percy Harvin.
With their first selection, the Vikings grabbed former Florida defensive tackle Sharrif Floyd, who was already expected to be off the board. Then a few picks later, Minnesota added former Florida State cornerback Xavier Rhodes.
Vikings general manager Rick Spielman had one more trick up his sleeve though.
