Inspiration by Nicholas Santo

Adam Thielen’s an inspiration

All over the football nation

Ever since he was knee high

In purple in gold he wanted to die

He practiced football so much

In highschool he was a receiver no one could touch

Despite his hard work

No division one team invested in the Adam Thielen Network

So he packed up all his stuff

And took a big huff

He hoped in his car

And headed for afar

Mankato is where he went to college

To play football and gain knowledge

During his four years there

He majored in selling dental care

While playing for his college team

On self centered coach of his made him question his football dream

He was not invited to the NFL combine

But you still didn’t hear him whine

When it came time to the draft

No one asked him for his autograph

After the draft a familiar team gave him a call

The vikings gave him a contract that he accepted with no hesitation at all

He made the Vikings practice squad as a rookie in 2013.

That same year you didn’t see him on your TV screen.

The next year he made his first memorable play

He blocked a punt and returned it all the way

Since then

He has been consistent again and again
