“He is a seasoned vet and he’s been in this league a while and he has played against the best,” added Boone. “I have full confidence in him and what he can do and one thing I like about him is he is a grinder. He puts his nose to the grindstone and does his job, he’s very quiet but he knows what he is doing. The one thing I can do is play the best football I know how to play to help this team.”

Playing his best football right now in his fourth season, is wide receiver Adam Theilen who put up 1,248 yards and hooked up with starting quarterback, Sam Bradford for six scores. Bradford finished the 2016 season with the highest completion percentage (71.6) setting an NFL single season record.

Theilen believes with the offensive line additions, more good things will be in the fold for the Vikings offense in 2017.

“I am pretty excited about this year,” said the Minnesota State grad. “We are all pretty confident in the O-line. They have been doing a really great job and have been in there working really hard. Our run game is looking a lot better, obviously we haven’t played a game yet, but we are pretty confident in the things we have been able to do.”

With the line giving Bradford extra time, Theilen along with Stefon Diggs, Michael Floyd and Kyle Rudolph should be able to see more balls coming their way.
