After a solid showing in his first-ever preseason game with the Minnesota Vikings and an impressive training camp, Vikings rookie wide receiver Laquon Treadwell looked like he would be ready to contribute immediately for the team during the upcoming regular season.

But since Minnesota’s first preseason game against the Cincinnati Bengals on Aug. 12, in which he caught four passes for 41 yards, Treadwell has only managed to haul in three balls (one occurred on a two-point conversion) for 20 yards over the Vikings’ next three preseason games.

That is definitely not the kind of production Minnesota was envisioning when they selected the wide receiver in the first round of the 2016 NFL Draft.

It is not like he has not been given chances to make plays this preseason. He has still managed to be targeted 11 times in the past three games, yet the football cannot seem to find his hands.

So is there anything to worry about with the Vikings’ young receiver? Probably not yet, but it is a bit disappointing to see Treadwell struggle when fellow rookie receivers Will Fuller and Tyler Boyd seem to be fitting in nicely with their teams.

The way it is looking right now, he probably will not get much playing time this season unless he has to fill in for an injured Minnesota player. But there is still plenty of hope for the future of the Vikings rookie given that some of the NFL’s best receivers of today took a year or two in the league before they began to find success.

Of course Minnesota would like for Treadwell to progress a little faster, but they may have to be patient with their first round draft pick for the second straight season.
