Jalen Nailor will join fellow Spartans Kirk Cousins and Kenny Willekes in Minnesota next season after he was drafted in the sixth round by the Vikings on Saturday.
Naturally, Vikings fans were pretty excited to be getting the talented Michigan State wide receiver and took to social media to celebrate. Take a look at some Twitter reactions to the pick below:

Jalen Nailor is a slightly undersized WR with good quickness and explosiveness. He’s a big-play threat when healthy who might be the Vikings’ Dede Westbrook replacement at punt returner this year. pic.twitter.com/awL4NRjCo3

Jalen Nailor is a sneaky good pick. Nagged by injuries but he’s a state champion sprinter who can fly on the football field. He will be a great change of pace in the WR room.

Jalen Nailor was one of the most dynamic players in college football.

Jalen Nailor.
Get ready for the jokes!
Jokes aside, I like this pick.
He averaged 17 yards per catch over 4 seasons. He’s your typical deep threat WR.
Has to refine he route running.
Overall you can see the theme of this draft: FAST— Optimistic Vikings fan (@Superskolfan) April 30, 2022
Jalen Nailor was player #97 on my board. The #Vikings got a solid WR3 and vertical threat in their offense.
