A former first-round pick for the Minnesota Vikings, Treadwell has bounced around the NFL since 2020. Playing four seasons for the Vikings, the Ole Miss alum never lived up to his potential on draft night. He has also played for the Atlanta Falcons, Jacksonville Jaguars and Seattle Seahawks.
Despite the hype, Treadwell has only caught 110 passes for 1226 receiving yards and five touchdowns in seven seasons. The big-bodied wideout was unstoppable in college, snagging 202 receptions, 2393 yards and 21 TDs in three seasons.
Laquon Treadwell played for the Seattle Seahawks last season, catching six passes for 42 yards in 2022. He played 138 offensive snaps and 41 special-teams snaps. His most productive NFL season came in 2021 with the Jaguars. Appearing in 12 games with seven starts for Jacksonville, he caught 33 passes for 434 yards and one TD.
