| Laquon Treadwell finally 100 percent Battled through foot pain all of last season at Ole Miss By: Doug Orth | Jul 25 2016, 4:45 pm
| Laquon Treadwell said he’s most grateful for finally being 100 percent healthy. Treadwell suffered a gruesome season-ending injury in a Nov. 1, 2014 game against Auburn in which he broke his left tibia and dislocated his left ankle. He said he never was fully healthy last season even though he caught 82 passes for 1,153 yards and 11 touchdowns for the Rebels. “I was definitely tentative; I wasn’t 100 percent at all last season. I would just say (he was 100 percent) to get everyone off of me. ... But then after I went home at night, I was like, ‘I don’t feel right'. ... It felt like I had a fire in my foot," Treadwell said.

FFToday's Take: He went on to say he didn't feel 100 percent at his March 28 pro day either, which would explain his pedestrian workout numbers during the pre-draft process. The Vikings are expected to incorporate more skinny posts into the playbook because Treadwell fits the mold of receivers such as Michael Irvin and Vincent Jackson that made countless big plays running the "Bang 8" for current OC Norv Turner. Treadwell is a potential steal at his current 10.11 ADP.
