Vikings Sign Top Rookie WR Tai Felton as Part of 2025 Draft Class
The Minnesota Vikings have officially signed four out of their five rookie selections from the 2025 NFL Draft, including Maryland standout wide receiver Tai Felton. Felton, who was picked in the third round and holds the distinction of being the last selection in that round, is set to ink a four-year deal that could be worth up to $6.1 million.
As Felton joins the Vikings, he is anticipated to vie for playing time against last season’s WR3 Jalen Nailor and newly acquired free agent Rondale Moore. With Nailor entering the final year of his contract, his future with the team remains uncertain, potentially paving the way for Felton to see significant action earlier than expected.
Expressing enthusiasm about his new journey, Felton looks forward to sharing the field with NFL star Justin Jefferson. Having admired Jefferson’s impressive career since 2019 during his time at LSU, Felton seeks to absorb as much knowledge as possible from the elite receiver. “He’s the best receiver in the league,” Felton stated, emphasizing his admiration for Jefferson’s consistent performance and strong technique.
Felton intends to study Jefferson’s daily routines, particularly his work ethic, film analysis, and catching skills. “I want to learn how he goes about his daily process, his routine, and how he prepares for games,” he added.
The Vikings’ decision to sign Felton furthers their commitment to bolstering their receiving corps in preparation for the upcoming season. As training camp approaches, fans eagerly await how Felton will adapt to the pro-level competition and potentially reshape the team’s offensive strategies.
