A wide receiver who joined the Minnesota Vikings after six seasons with another franchise compared his situation to Kevin Durant's 2016 move to the Golden State Warriors. The player made the remark during organized team activities this week. He said the receiving group reminded him of the Warriors' "Big Three," citing the presence of multiple established players.
Background on the roster The team finished last season with a 9-8 record.
In March it signed a former first-overall draft pick to a one-year contract to compete at quarterback. The receiving corps already included a four-time Pro Bowl selection and another player entering his fourth season.
Player's prior experience The receiver had been a seventh-round draft choice and spent his entire career to date with his previous team. He has not yet earned Pro Bowl or All-Pro honors. The comparison focused on joining an established group rather than on individual statistics.
