It’s 4:47 p.m. on Friday afternoon, and the Vikings have just wrapped up their seventh day of training camp at Minnesota State University, Mankato.
Some players head to sign autographs for waiting fans while others stop for media scrums.
Others linger after practice to work on individual skills, but none will stay as late as Minnesota’s rookie wide receiver.
“I don’t even pay attention to it,” said Treadwell, who finally walked off the field at 5:36 p.m. “I look up, and everybody is gone.”
Treadwell has received plenty of praise for his work ethic during his first NFL training camp, something he said dates back to his high school days and in college at Ole Miss.
