Stefon Diggs and Adam Thielen are stars on the field for Minnesota Vikings, but off the gridiron, they are also really good friends. We have entered the phase of the season where most of the players are working out on their own as they prepare to report to training camp in a few weeks.
That means Diggs and Thielen haven't seen each other for a few weeks, and by the looks of Twitter, it has been a little too long for their bromance. Diggs took to Twitter to ask Thielen why he was a bit distant.

Thielen responded, and he thinks that the wait has been a little long, but he is wondering why is the one who always has to text first.
New Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins also got in on the fun calling out Diggs for never being the first one to text.
It was just a fun little exchange, but it might reveal a little more about this Vikings team. They are really close, and even though Cousins has only been there a couple of months, he has gotten himself adapted right into the wide receivers.
The two Vikings star receivers have been impressed with what they have seen from Cousins leading into training camp.
“He's definitely a blessing to be around as far as the energy that he brings,” Diggs said via ESPN. “As far as being our general and the guy that's going to lead us, I put 100 percent faith in him and I trust him.”
Thielen echoed the same thoughts as Diggs.
“The big thing for him is when you emphasize something and you finally get it done and you finally get on the same page with the quarterback-receiver, it's kind of exciting,” Thielen said.
Only a couple of weeks and these three will be back on the field together again at training camp, and it appears that can't come fast enough.
