He's a Slotting Stud!

His big gain this week was with him lined up out wide, wasn't it?
Thielen has just become a plain stud. And the game plans have been pretty solid in utilizing Diggs and Thielen.

This move raised an eyebrow for me at first...seemed counterintuitive to put the larger man in the slot...WTF do I know...do we credit Shurmur or our new WR coach for the move?

That's awesome. It was great when they showed his stats on the big boards, the crowd went nuts.

Alright, it's inevitable. Who's going to be the first? To call him the Vikings version of Edelman?

I think locking him up in a new contract was just as genius

They like him in the slot for his run blocking abilities as well...

He's been a stud. Great hands this year.
