QUOTES BY Adam Thielen


It's frustrating when you don't feel like you help the team like you should, but at the end of the day there's going to be ups and downs and it's how you react.

For me there is so many factors in football, that's why it's the greatest team game. There are so many things that lead into having success, just like when you have a ton of success and when you have no success, it's not just you.

That's something you work on Day 1. You never stop your route.

That's probably the biggest difference from a hamstring to different injuries. You can play through pain with other injuries. But as I found out quickly with a hamstring, if you're feeling any pain, eventually, it's not going to work.

I don't really care what people think about me or the color of my skin. I'm just playing football.

I'm the kind of person who always has a Plan B. I don't want to go into anything without another option.

I really try to avoid looking at or thinking about my stats because I'm just trying to do my part in winning games.

Defenses usually are trying to take away the guys who are getting a lot of catches earlier in the season.

Just because you're drafted, No. 1, doesn't mean you're going to make a team and, No. 2, it doesn't mean you're going to be around a long time. Especially at receiver, where there are only five and the last two have to play a lot of special teams or they're gone.
