You won't believe how fast Adam Thielen ran on that 65-yard TD!
There was a time when Adam Thielen would tell the media, tell his teammates and tell his coaches that he would race any player in the Vikings locker room and win.
For the most part we laughed.
We laughed cuz he was undrafted. We laughed cuz he played D2. We laughed for a bunch of reasons...and then today happened.
According to Next Gen Stats, when Adam Thielen caught that 65-yard touchdown and pulled away from Rams defenders, he ran 20.58 miles per hour!

He definitely hit another gear and he is a smooth runner

While not as fast as an elephant (25mph)
He is still faster than a pig, squirrel
& any Ram defender !!
On that play, I was reminded of those quick outlet passes to Moss,
who was a different kind of long stride fast altogether

He was moving, running his hardest to make sure he got past the safety who had the angle. Pretty good speed.
