Minnesota Vikings receiver Adam Thielen pulled off a great contortionist act on Wednesday with a twisting one-handed touchdown catch in 7-on-7 red-zone drills.
The catch itself was completely ridiculous, but the fact that he was able to get his feet down in the back of the end zone took things up a notch. That was insanity.
Thielen, a two time Pro Bowler, is reminding people he still has plenty left in the tank at 31 years old.
With Justin Jefferson playing across from him, it’s going to put a lot of stress on opposing defenses to cover them both. After the circus catch, he was bum-rushed by teammates to celebrate what was easily the play of the day.

The Vikings are only in their third week of organized team activities, and Thielen is already looking like he’s preparing for a Week 9 game at a mid-season practice.
This could be just a taste of what’s to come with one of the most talented receiving corps playing in a completely revamped offense by coach Kevin O’Connell.
