As the excitement of the 2025 NFL Draft continues, the Minnesota Vikings made a strategic move to bolster their offense by selecting wide receiver Tai Felton from Maryland with the 102nd overall pick, signaling the end of the third round.
Felton, a standout at Maryland, brings a solid collegiate career to the pros. Over 46 games, with 31 starts, he developed a reputation for his reliable hands and game-changing plays. His 2023 season saw him earn third-team All-Big Ten honors. However, it was 2024 that truly cemented his status, as he smashed records with 96 catches for 1,124 yards and nine touchdowns, earning first-team All-Big Ten accolades.
Over the span of his college career, Felton amassed impressive stats, catching 172 passes for 2,207 yards and scoring 17 touchdowns. These numbers highlight his consistency and ability to make significant contributions on the field.
Joining the Vikings, Felton will now slot into a dynamic receiving unit alongside stars like Justin Jefferson and Jordan Addison. His addition is poised to enhance the Vikings' aerial attack, bringing versatility and depth to their lineup.
