Social media reacts to the Minnesota Vikings taking Maryland WR Tai Felton
With the final pick in the third round, the Minnesota Vikings took Maryland WR Tai Felton. The four-year Terrapin is one of the most accomplished WRs College Park has seen. Now, he will get a chance to go to Minnesota and thrive under head coach Kevin O'Connell.
Regardless of who has played QB for the Vikings, they can throw for yardage. With J.J. McCarthy as the starting QB, Minnesota feels confident in what he can do as a passer. Felton with get to play alongside arguably the best WR in the game, Justin Jefferson. He will also play with young phenom Jordan Addison and tight end TJ Hockenson to make up one of the best pass-catching units in the game.
Felton will have to beat our Jalen Nailor as the No. 3 WR, but Felton can make plays in other areas. Felton has shared that he is willing to play special teams and return kicks/punts if needed. Grabbing him in the third round speaks volumes about how the Vikings think of Felton.
Here are some of the best reactions to Felton landing with Minnesota.

The best thing about WR Tai Felton is he does something Justin Jefferson & Jordan Addison don’t do…

He is suited to run Jet Sweeps & Smoke & Tunnel screens. He has KR vision when he gets the ball in the open field. #Vikings will have a crowded room.

When I watch WR prospects one thing I look for is where they line up. I like guys who move around

New Vikings WR Tai Felton moved
all over. His quickest way to the field in MN will be his RAC but there’s nuance to his game to develop into an all around WRpic.twitter.com/2hNAHGazRe
The Vikings picked up a playmaker in @Taifelton
