I'm trying to think of a 4.6 guy that was successful in the NFL and the only one I can think of is Anquan Bolding. Reading up on Treadwell, he sounds like he could be a Chad Johnson type of guy (athletically, not personality). I think Johnson didn't run much faster than that right?
I like that he can break tackles and is a good red zone threat. In any case, he's a Viking now so he has my full support. Welcome aboard Laquon!

Treadwell could pick up some more speed both through added healing of the injury and simply his age. He's a beast.

Ok so not that far off, I figured Chad was in that 4.5-4.6 area. NFL.com compares him to Hopkins. If he can be Hopkins, I would be pretty happy with that.dead_poet wrote: Johnson was 4.57.

Seems like the exact opposite of the CP pick

... and if he can be Boldin, I'll be ecstatic!

Unfortunately, this probably means that Cordarrelle Patterson is out

On offense anyway. Which sucks, yeah. Charles Johnson can't feel great either.HardcoreVikesFan wrote:Unfortunately, this probably means that Cordarrelle Patterson is out

From Rotoworld:
Laquon Treadwell - WR - Vikings
Vikings selected Ole Miss WR Laquon Treadwell with the No. 23 overall pick in the 2016 draft.
Treadwell (6'2/221) needed only three years at Ole Miss to set a school record for receptions (202), parlaying them into 2,393 yards (11.8 YPR) and 21 career TDs. He was a first-team All-SEC pick as a 2015 junior. Treadwell won't turn 21 until a month and a half after the draft and offers room for growth despite unimpressive workout metrics, running 4.64 with a 33 1/2-inch vertical. Rather than speed and athleticism, Treadwell wins with length, body control, ball skills, and physicality after the catch. An ultra-competitive player, Treadwell will be a playmaking possession receiver in the NFL.
