Wake up, we have seven hours of commercial-free football today 😍 With Week 1 set to begin in earnest, a look back on big stars that changed teams in a loaded offseason.
The dog has been barking inside of Adam Thielen for as long as he can remember.
As a kid in the backyards of Detroit Lakes, Minn., he had a difficult time keeping control of it when the games did not go his way. The beast would eat him alive from the inside out, making it hard to focus and finish the job. In college at Minnesota State, Mankato, it showed up at inopportune times when he started dating his future wife, who didn’t back down on the ping-pong table or during a heated Pop-A-Shot showdown at the arcade.
Now as he prepares to enter his ninth season on the Vikings’ active roster — his 10th year with the team in total, counting a season on the practice squad — Thielen credits that competitive nature, that snarling animal inside of him for his becoming one of the best receivers ever for a franchise bursting with talent at the position.
