Spielman has emphasized multiple times that Treadwell "plays with a chip on his shoulder." Highlights that he's a high-character player
Rick Spielman: "I know Adrian Peterson is probably going to be excited about the way this guy plays and blocks on the edge.''

Spielman: "He generates a lot of power when he gets off the line of scrimmage." — Noticed in comparison to other wide receivers.

@mattvensel RS said "I knew we were going to get a good football player." Said there were 3-4 players they really liked two spots before their pick.

@VikingsCorner Spielman said he made no calls about trading up when wide receivers started flying off the board. Was confident in the players on the board.
Zimmer: "We looked at a lot of them, but he was the one with all of the intangible things we were looking for."

I hope Tread is the better fit for Teddy. I just couldnt believe the Redskins got Docston 1 pick before us.

@austincbelisle Zimmer: 'He was the No. 1 rated receive out of high school, in '14, was a little slow this year. But I think he's going to help us"
"He is the best blocking receiver I have ever seen." - Coach Zimmer on new @Vikings WR Laquon Treadwell
Zimmer: "I know there is a lot about his 40 time... He plays fast on tape.''
Mike Zimmer on Laquon Treadwell: "He's a big-time competitor.''

Interesting, Billings was my guy but the Packers disagree, Clark is a guy I hadn't anticipated to be on the board so my knowledge of him as a player is a bit lacking.

Idk what you qouted, but I had figured he be off the board by now, DT wasn't a heavily drafted position though.

Zimmer: "Important to see players against good competition, to see that the lights don't blind a player. Sometimes affects small school"
Zimmer: "One of the things when looking at all receivers...how would you defend this guy? How would you take him out of the game?"

That really surprised me.
