With the coronavirus infecting hundreds of thousands across the country and putting many people out of job as they self-quarantine, a bit of good news has been desperately needed. Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Adam Thielen is more than happy to provide that.

Earlier this April, Thielen announced that his foundation, The Thielen Foundation, would donate $100,00 in COVID-19 relief efforts.

On top of that, the 29-year-old star receiver also announced that he would host a Radiothon with KFAN and IHeart Radio-Minneapolis. That event took place on Thursday and raised over $280,000 over a four-show, 12-hour span.

Money was raised through donations from listeners and matching corporate gifts, while his fellow Vikings such as Kirk Cousins and Kyle Rudolph also made an appearance.

Thielen mentioned that the donations will be split between the Salvation Army, Second Harvest Heartland, M Health Fairview and the MN Disaster Recovery Fund for coronavirus.

“It’s a super-exciting day for us,” Adam Thielen said, via the Vikings website. “It felt like game day. I couldn’t sleep for two hours last night, just thinking about all of the things we were going to talk about and do.”

On the field, injuries forced the 6-foot-2 receiver to miss a game for the first time in his six-year NFL career. Limited to just 10 games with the Vikings last season, Thielen recorded just 30 catches for 418 yards and six touchdowns.

With fellow receiver Stefon Diggs now off to the Buffalo Bills, Thielen will likely presume the role of the Vikings' unquestioned No. 1 receiver. If he stays healthy, he should get back to making the Pro Bowl and being one of the best players at his position.
