per Greder:
Two of the best receivers from the state of Minnesota didn’t talk about the personal odds they had to overcame to reach the top levels of their sport when they first met at Woodbury High School last summer.
No, Adam Thielen didn’t share what he needed to do to rise from Division II Minnesota State Mankato to play for the Vikings, and Tyler Johnson skipped the hurdles he had to clear growing up in the tough Minneapolis North neighborhood to be with the Gophers.
They just dove into the finer points of route running when they worked out together with former Vikings quarterback Kyle Sloter. The meeting was orchestrated by former Gophers and NFL receiver Ron Johnson in order to give Tyler, a senior at the U, a glimpse of what next year could look like in the pros.
Tyler said he took in everything Thielen shared —from how to make every route look the same to ways to create separation from defensive backs and how to attack different break points in a route.
