Brandon Zylstra showed a lot of promise

You can say some of his yards were in garbage time, but he made two to three exceptional catches against the Saints starters.

We really need a #3 WR/possession receiver with how poorly Wright has played, and we have him under contract for peanuts for a few more years.

Brandon Zylstra has a lot in common with Adam Thielen (not saying he's that good).

Both developed by the Vikings, look very similar in appearance, undrafted out of college from tiny schools no one has ever heard of (in the Midwest), no D1 scholarship offers.

Both 6'2 and 210 pounds, keep an eye out on this guy next year in training camp.

Lol Zylstra made multiple catches today better than anything Bersin ever made.

Definitely should have role on next year's team

IMHO, our receiving corp should have been sufficient with an all world player in CMC. 

Give these guys a legitimate NFL caliber offensive line and QB and this is a different conversation

Wright hasn't played poorly...

    • there seems to be a change or two in his personnel preferences.  For example, the safeties.  Another example:  the smallish NTs are out and 330 is back! 
    • This is a good story--I LOVED his dad as a person and player--I talked to him at an OTA (he was back for his second stint) and he was talking about Moore (the WR from Wake Forest) being so young.  I was with my teenage son and told him, "This is Taylor.  He and I attended the OTAs when you were in Rock Hill as a rookie."  He jokes, "Was he in diapers then?" and laughed.  I imagine Moose III was in diapers when we chatted that day.  So I really would love for this to work out.  However, his stats do not suggest he was anything special in college.
    • I guess there are signs. The combination of the turf toe, hamstring, and knee issues led to questions about his long-term health and affected his draft stock, causing him to fall to the second round.  Here is what I know about a knee injury.  It changes nearly every aspect of your lower body movement.  So the turf toe and hamstring could be related.  It makes him seem injury prone.  I guess the knee was not the most recent injury, so the others could have been a result of favoring the knee. Johnson did not run the 40 at the combine or pro day.  That suggests there is something he feels might drop his value.  So if you downplay the severity of the injury, have a history of possibly related injuries, and refuse to demonstrate (when given multiple opportunities) that you are fully recovered, don't get mad when your stock drops.
