The Bird Tour Continues for Former Vikings Receiver Laquon Treadwell

Laquon Treadwell is one of the more infamous draft picks in recent Vikings memory. In 2016, Minnesota was in need of some receiver help for QB Teddy Bridgewater, so they used the 23rd overall pick on Treadwell (the same pick that Minnesota used this spring on Jordan Addison) after a promising collegiate career at Ole Miss, including a 2015 season where he caught 82 passes for 1153 yards and 11 TDs.

Well, Treadwell would never come close to realizing that first-round potential with the Vikings.

The receiver played just nine games in his rookie year of 2016.
