This guy busted his ass, came from small school, small college “nobodies” and proved them all wrong. One of the best Underdog athletes to grace the National Football League. FACTS 💯
Adam is the man in my book I love his story being a UDFA and from Minnesota, I have only 4 Viking jerseys and big number 19 is one of them for sure he is one hard working dude
I believe Adam believes that he can find more fulfillment on the field elsewhere and I hope he does. Of the 50 Greatest Minnesota Vikings, 29 went to other teams, including Eller, Page, Foreman, Yary, Doleman, Birk, Ed White, and Moss and Peterson.
I remember being at the game when AT19 scored his first receiving TD. It was my second ever Vikings game in my life in over 5 years. I was either in the bathroom or waiting in line for the bathroom when it happened. All I remember is being so disappointed on missing it when my brother told me about it when I got back. And from then on, I vowed to myself never to get up and use the bathroom while attending a game. Anyway, in the end, I've been to 21 Vikings games so far and have seen plenty of AT19 TD's! Skol Thielen!
A great story! Grew up in a small town in northern MN, played football at a small MN college, i heard that he had to borrow money from his folks so he could attend the NFL combine, went undrafted, made the Viking practice squad, and then the special teams, and finally got his chance to start and the rest is history. Worked his tail off to get where he is today.
I don't know if you guys know this, but Adam is from Minnesota and went to a small Minnesota college. Why announcers never bothered to mention it is beyond me.
Early in his career they detailed his story. Literally. Every. Single. Game. Detroit Lakes, Mankato State, selling dental equipment, open tryout, camp invite, final cut, practice squad surprise, special teams. After all that, he got his "lucky" break 😆 🤣 when all his hard work and preparation crossed paths with an opportunity. And boy oh boy did he take advantage of that!
Love this. I don't buy jerseys becuse I don't believe in wearing another man's name on my back, However, I have bought a few for my daughter Thielen and Smith
I know what you mean I was like that too but then I got to thinking it really doesn't have anything to do with a male or female thing it's just a way of showing support and respect for a great player
That was due to Zimmer's conservative and predictable play calling. Kirk never called his own plays and was not allowed to call audibles (or time outs). In Kirk's first year here, Adam had 1373 yards and Stefon Diggs had his first 1000 yard season. Adam also had the most consecutive games with 100+ receiving yards (8) (tied with Calvin Johnson) in 2018. Kirk is one of the most accurate quarterbacks in the league. Adam and JJ wouldn't have had the success they've had with just anybody throwing them the ball.
Adam Thielen will go down in history as being of one of the vikes most legendary players. How can you not root for this guy? Such an inspiration.
Mostly underrated hands by the masses, great route running, and deceptive speed; definitely one the top for us.
I know that's right
How can you not root for AT?
Does Justin Jefferson no exist lol
@@easylove101bro can still be one of the best vikes ever

Minnesota home grown! Love ya AT19!!! SKOL Vikings
One of the All time greatest vikings
Gonna miss this guy
Just more icing on why he'll always be my favorite player. I hope they give him the respect to let him retire in purple.
Yes me too he is a true Viking for sure

My favorite Viking of all time class act
My favorite underdog story. Sköl.
Epitomizes hometown kid makes good. 👍
Still livin' the dream.
Here's to the next 50, skol!
Adam will make the Vikings ring of Honor
AT goated
3:50 - One of the most memorable TDs of all time when watching. The crowd collectively yelling "1.....2...AHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!"
Minnesota finest 👌 Skol Vikes

Thielen is awesome!!
Love KJ being there right away to celebrate 50. KJ is legit!

A true Viking. Get him a ring.
Can’t wait for him to reach 100(If he stays that is) 🐐
... I've got some news for ya.
The one game I went to was where number 3 happened, hell yeah
I can’t believe we didn’t get the long touchdown pass and run against the rams in 2017
dont forget the blocked punt
I’m surprised his TD against the Rams from 2017 isn’t on here
I really believe the vikes need to get the ball going to more people than jefferson, jeffersons great but it's his 3rd year and he will have time ..
Will my favorite team reply?? And Adam thielen has always been the 🐐
Hope you retire a Viking AT!! #SKOL
I dont care what needs to be done we need to keep him a viking for his entire career
We need a breakdown on all 50

This must be satire 😂 they talk about this every game
It had been mentioned many times that he was from Minnesota and small college. Where have you been.?
Mr. Touchdown
Makes sense that a Bears coach would say Adam Thielen is just a blocker.
I thought his first Td was a blocked kick return 🤔
This video highlights his receiving TDs
I think you are right that was his first TD but they were only talking about receiving touch downs but they should have included that one
White king! W
If I buy tickets to Detroit will you guys promise a win this year I don’t wanna lose again this year lmao
No touchdowns please please Just take us to the super bowl
Love this. I don't buy jerseys becuse I don't believe in wearing another man's name on my back, However, I have bought a few for my daughter Thielen and Smith

Met Justin Jefferson yet
Love Adam. Just wish we had a better QB. Cousins is okay but in big games he sucks. He is terrible against really good teams.

Stop acting like a Child after a score. Randy Moss was the most dangerous receiver out there.
Really great lighting in that interview. Who needs to see the top of his face anyway
wearing a hat low will do that dofus.
only 50 touchdowns😂
Guys like d hop have 18 more than that, thielen has only been a starter since 2016
More than you’ve caught
Pretty good for a Mn home bred walk on. Thielen is a beast
Incredible! Go Lakers!!! 😎
