Adam Thielen left off Nate Burleson’s top-10 WR list

Well, this is no fun.

Former Vikings wide receiver and current NFL analyst over at NFL Network Nate Burleson ranked his top-10 wide receivers in the league.

Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen wasn’t on his list.

Most people would probably disagree with this considering Thielen caught 113 passes for 1,373 yards and nine touchdowns last season. The folks over at Pro Football Focus graded Thielen as the leagues fifth-best wide receiver last season.

Thielen is only 28 years old, so it’s not like he’s getting old or falling off anytime soon.

What hurts even more is Burleson doesn’t even mention Thielen in his ‘honorable mentions’ section.

Sad stuff.

We’ll see if Thielen makes Burleson’s list look questionable after the season.
