Ten players with most to prove during NFL training camp

Could the Denver Broncos release Jamaal Charles before training camp is over?

3. Laquon Treadwell, wide receiver, Minnesota Vikings

Treadwill failed to live up to the hype of being drafted 23rd overall by the Vikings in 2016. He will have training camp to show his team that he ranks a close third behind starters Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen.

In his rookie year, Treadwell played in nine games, starting in just one. Along the way, he caught only one of three balls thrown at him for 15 yards. That was a horrendous stat line to own coming off of a grand 82 catches for 1,153 receptions and 11 touchdowns at Ole Miss in 2015.

For now, Treadwell will have to prove more valuable than newly signed Michael Floyd, who the Vikings clearly brought in for reinforcement purposes.

Treadwell has failed to match the performances of other teams’ first-round receiver picks who exploded on the scene. If he continues to struggle in 2017, the bust label will be waiting for him.
