The Minnesota native bounced back with an impressive 2020, especially in terms of finding the end zone.
Thielen hauled in 14 touchdown catches last season, which is the fifth-highest total by a Vikings player in a single season. He also added 74 catches and 925 receiving yards.
Since 2016 when Thielen became a starter, he has averaged 83 receptions, 1,087 yards and eight touchdowns for every 16 games played.
"He's very crafty of a receiver. Honestly, he stresses me out," said Colts cornerback Kenny Moore II. "Everybody can't do that … having a good release, good stem, good body movement and body control, and being able to catch the ball, too. He's able to do all of that at once.
"They move him around a lot," Moore added. "They know how to use him and get him the ball."
While Thielen's segment on the show highlighted his 'Griddy' dancing ability, he also earned plenty of praise for his acrobatic touchdown catches in 2020.
"What really makes him great are the catches he makes when someone is on him," said Broncos safety Justin Simmons. "I can remember watching Adam Thielen, and it seemed like every other week someone had tight coverage on him and he was still able to make a ridiculous catch."
Thielen's notable plays in 2020 included a one-handed touchdown catch against the Bears, along with another one-hander against the Cowboys.
