43 minutes

Wow, it's been an awesome stretch on the show, especially if you're a Minnesota Vikings fan. We went from Dalvin Cook last week to Adam Thielen this week! Adam discusses his unlikely and inspiring path to the pros and sustained success with teammate and lockermate Patrick Peterson as well as Bryant McFadden. First, #19 shares his thoughts on the current Vikings before talking about his noteworthy golf game! Then he details his journey to the NFL, what makes him stand out as a WR and growing up as a Vikings fan. He takes us down memory lane for Minnesota's magical 2017 season and also for his breakout performance and first Lambeau Leap in 2016. Thielen shares why Kirk Cousins is playing at such a high level, what it has been like to team up with Stefon Diggs and Justin Jefferson and what it would mean to bring a Super Bowl to Minnesota. Finally, Superlatives!
