That’s a pretty great way to record your first career NFL catch, Jalen Nailor!
The former Spartan came up big in a key moment for the Minnesota Vikings Sunday morning, hauling in a 4th and 2 fake punt for a first down conversion. Nailor’s catch set up a Minnesota field goal as time winds down in the first game of the Sunday NFL slate.

Nailor totaled 1458 yards receiving at Michigan State with 12 touchdowns. The 6-foot receiver was selected by the Vikings in the 6th round of the 2022 NFL Draft, No. 191 overall.
Minnesota trails with just over 5 minutes remaining in the game. The Vikings are looking to improve to 3-1 on the season in London.
