He gets open, not every play, but neither does Diggs or AT. His biggest issues are when he is on the field he is likely the 4th read at best on most plays, as he should ne with his performance history, but since his 2nd year when AT and Diggs emerged he has been getting less reps in practice and games and that will hinder the development.
I also wouldn't be surprised to find he has a learning disability. From the reports he puts in the extra work, it just doesnt turn into success on the field.
He seems like a likable enough kid and has tried to become a good player, it just doesnt seem like it's coming together for him here. Maybe a fresh start would help or maybe he will never get comfortable enough in a system to he able to play fast, but I do feel sorry for him and wish him the best where ever his career takes him...as long as it doesnt affect our Vikea.

Lots of excuses in your post. He doesn't get open, if he did, he'd have been a part of the offense years ago. Now, sure, he might be open occasionally but not consistently hence why they don't look his way. Learning disability?? C'mon now, is it so hard to say he's just not a starting NFL caliber WRer?
Turn the page on this kid already.

After 3 years, I'm beginning to give up hope this kid is going to have that "light bulb" moment. I'm not a professional football player, nor have I played one on TV, but I would believe he should see the level of competition around him in training camp and let that be his motivation to be one of Cousin's "go to" guys. He doesn't have to be Diggs or Thielen.
At this point, if he can't beat out free agents and rookies, finishing that general studies major at Ole Miss may be in his future.
wait....beginning?

Turn the page on this kid already. its his 4th year in the league, he had route issues his first and second year but he turned a corner last year. people that watch the all 22 talk about him getting open, he does get open, he just doesnt have the confidence of the QBs and with his history that is understandable. I am not making excuses, but to say he cant get open just isnt true according to those with the information that TV doesnt provide. When I rewatch the games and key in on certain players on certain plays, I see him getting open, that isnt the issue, but the kid is burnt here and needs a new start if he is ever going to amount to anything.

So funny. You are making excuses. Do you think the organization didn't want him to succeed? There's a master plan conspiracy to keep him down? It's silly. He's had more than enough time to show his worth and he hasn't. His work ethic isn't in question, so that makes his lack of success even more obvious. He has 1 TD in 3 seasons. It isn't the fans bagging on the guy only, the organization is done with him and they know intimately more than we do. He's going to be replaced by a UDFA and a 7th round draft pick.
The only reason that a few straggler fans still pine for the kid is purple goggles.

He lost the confidence of the quarterbacks due to too many dropped balls during game time situations...and it would be best for Treadwell and the Vikings to part ways, let Treadwell rebuild his game with another team willing to give him a chance.
Looks like Tready officially made the 1st round draft bust list. Too bad for us and him. The team really needed a stud WR when he was picked, but they got their needs from a walk-on FA and a 5th rounder. Strange how things turn out. Seems like a good dude, and wish him the best.
Might be awhile before we see another 1st round WR picked by the Vikes. The last few since Moss really didn't work out (Flashy, Harvin, Lobster Claws Williamson).
From Wiki...
"A member of the highly-ranked 2013 University of Mississippi signing class, Treadwell played three seasons for the Rebels. He finished his career as the all-time leading pass catcher in Ole Miss history with 202 career receptions (seventh-most in SEC history) and ranks third in receiving yards with 2,393 and touchdowns with 21, as well as tied for second with nine career 100-yard receiving games. Treadwell managed at least one catch in all 35 games in which he played for the Rebels."
"Prior to the draft, NFL Network's analyst Mike Mayock ranked Treadwell second overall among wide receivers and compared him to Houston Texans' superstar wide receiver DeAndre Hopkins. He also gave him a grade of 6.25, only behind Notre Dame's Will Fuller."
Unbelievably, this is the same kid that has:

Separation issues, dropped passes, less-than-enthusiastic-practices...whatever. Clearly the skill set he demonstrated in college didn't make it to the NFL. I wish him well, but if he has any success at the pro level, it won't be with the Vikes.
If I recall correctly, Treadwell was supposed to be that bigger-bodied, possession type receiver the Vikings lacked.
But he never came back with the same athleticism after that broken leg (or whatever it was)...
Couple that with trouble learning the play-book, running the wrong routes, running routes wrong? And you lose the confidence of the QB.
All of that has unfortunately happened to Treadwell. He's a classic case of drafting for need and it bit the Vikings in the behind.
Yah, time to part ways. There is too much other promising WR talent on the team now to keep him.
