Laquon Treadwell 2018 Minnesota Vikings Training Camp Interview
Laquon Treadwell talks about being ready to roll this year for the Minnesota Vikings.
One thing I will say is that he looks a lot more confident this year on the field and in the interview
Folks - if you don't watch any other interview, watch the last 90 seconds. Laquon is usually pretty straight in interviews, but we have serious fun with him on this one
@"Mike Olson" said: One thing I will say is that he looks a lot more confident this year on the field and in the interviewYeah, definitely seems like he's more "at ease" and not so serious in interviews. Hopefully he's finally gotten comfortable and can let his talent shine. He was a STUD in college... how great would it be to see have the same type of success in the NFL.
Early camp reports have been very positive about him. I'm excited to see him play this season.
If he can turn into a genuine threat out there this year instead of just a guy that is out on the field..... man our offense will be smoking as long as we stay healthy. Online is still a bit of a concern but we have some serious weapons so maybe we can slow that pass rush down a bit?
I always thought he could become a Cris Carter type reciever. I really hope he turns it around and dominates. Just keep those chains moving.
When he scores a TD, then I'll be interested in anything he has to say. After 2 seasons he makes Troy Williamson look like a success.

@"Tom Moore" said:And for someone that young to have the kind of resiliency, after being under pretty intense scrutiny and criticism is worthy of some praise. Maybe $9mm in the bank will do that for you, but it's worth calling out none-the-less.@"RS Express" said: When he scores a TD, then I'll be interested in anything he has to say.

It truly is like he's a different guyI saw him open plenty of times while at home games last season. Keenum could not or for some reason did not get him the ball.
That said, he's gotta put up or he's going to end-up playing somewhere else or play himself out of the league. I hope he finally turns it around. Never fun to watch a draft choice flame out.
He is on a whole other level right now. He is digging deep and doing the work. The confidence shows. The one-handed catches are a thing of beauty. He has truly humbled himself and embraced the things he needed to work on and gone at it full force. He is also getting better with the separation and using his body. His personality comes through on camera now. He has grown more comfortable with it. Maybe he needed to go through it to get to it. His body language is different too. Love the humor as well. I think people are going to be surprised. He was definitely getting love and support from the crowd.
Gotta chime in and agree. Every part of his game looks better. His routes are sharper, he gets separation, he goes up and fights for the ball more. He is putting in the hours and has at least in TC shown he can be a feature receiver if he keeps it up. He very literally elevated his game compared to last year.
He must have figured out that not only is a contract year and he could be out of job, but there is some talent pushing him for #4 spot.

He recently said he dropped some people in his circle of friends, family, advisors and he's feeling better heading into this season mentally.
In this interview, he says that he's feeling more comfortable with route running and all the little things you need to be successful in the NFL. He said he didn't come into the league with a good grasp on all that, but it's something he's really focused on.
Sometimes it takes guys a year or two (or more) to get the mental side down so their physical talent can shine.

I am sure it will also help him to have a QB that spreads the wealth. keenum did a good job last year, but he relied primarily on 3 targets and rarely gave Treadwell a look regardless of if he was open or not. a more open approach to the passing game will help all and should make the O much more productive.
If Tready puts up great numbers he still wont be retained. He'll get better money somewhere else with us already paying Diggs and Thielen. I'd say he realizes he's got to make something happen if he wants to be in the league next year.
Hoping for some big stuff from LaQuon this year. I really think he could be a nasty red zone target and we have a QB that likes to spread the ball around. He should be able to muscle balls away from anybody and there's no reason he couldn't be a move the chains guy. I see him going up against the best we got in practice (XR) and he's won some of those battles. You can't get any more great practice competition than being lined up against #29.
