The Lions worked out former Vikings first-round pick Laquon Treadwell, according to ESPN.com’s Field Yates (on Twitter). Treadwell also showed his stuff for the Bills earlier this week, but he’s still seeking a deal after being cut by the Vikings.
Treadwell, 24, had lots of buzz coming out of Ole Miss. Unfortunately, he hasn’t done much as a pro. Last year was Treadwell’s “best” as an NFL player – he finished out with 35 catches, 302 yards, and one touchdown. That averaged out to just 8.6 yards per catch, which isn’t a great look for a player who ran just a 40-yard-dash of just 4.63 seconds at the 2016 combine.
In a fun twist, the Vikings signed Josh Doctson shortly after dropping Treadwell. Doctson, another wide receiver from the 2016 class who has yet to make his mark, was selected one spot ahead of Treadwell.
Let’s make this happen
Garbage in, garbage out
LOL Oh my. Detroit must be in total shambles to think this guys any good.
I think this would be a good depth signing for the Lions. He’d make a decent #4 behind Golladay, Jones and Amendola.
As I have pointed out many times in the past with regard to player “workouts”, (and incurred the wrath of the commenting community), this has NOTHING to do with the player (Laquon Treadwell) and is rather all about an opportunity for the Detroit Lions to pick the brain of a player who has spent 3 years with their opposition (that they play TWICE each year) for information with regard to the offense of the Minnesota Vikings.
If you say so. It’s cute you believe in that conspiracy.
