Vikings WR Adam Thielen ranks 35th in PFF’s 2020 player rankings

The folks over at Pro Football Focus ranked the top 101 players from the 2020 NFL season.

Coming in at No. 35, fresh off of a career-high 14 touchdowns, was Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen.

Here’s what Sam Monson wrote about the wide receiver:

With Justin Jefferson putting together the kind of season he did as a rookie in Minnesota, it’s easy to overlook Adam Thielen or miss the fact that he had 14 receiving touchdowns this season. Thielen caught just under 70% of passes thrown his way and generated a 120.5 passer rating for Kirk Cousins on his targets. He remains one of the best route-runners in the game and is capable of spectacular plays at the catch point, as well. Thielen may not have had a career year in receptions or yards, but he was outstanding on the chances he got.

Thielen and Jefferson were part of perhaps the best 1-2 wide receiver punch in the NFL in 2020.

Other Vikings to rank on this list included Jefferson at No. 15, Dalvin Cook at No. 40, Kirk Cousins at No. 65 and Eric Kendricks at No. 70.
