3. Receiver who can reach
Doctson impressed with his vertical jump at the 2016 NFL Scouting Combine in Indianapolis, tying with Sterling Shepard to top the position group with a leap of 41 inches.
He also was a top performer in the broad jump, coming in second among receivers with a distance of 10 feet, 11 inches.
Doctson ranked third in the 20-yard shuttle (4.08 seconds) and ninth in the 3-cone shuttle drill (6.84 seconds).
He clocked in at 4.5 seconds in the 40-yard dash, which placed him 11th among receivers.
4. Collegiate standout
Doctson started his collegiate career at Wyoming in 2011, where he totaled 35 catches for 393 yards and a touchdown.
He then transferred to TCU, where he sat out the 2012 season due to NCAA regulations. In 2013, he recorded 36 catches for 440 yards and four touchdowns in 12 games.
Over his final two seasons for the Horned Frogs, Doctson racked up 144 catches for 2,345 yards and 25 touchdowns.
5. From the Lone Star to the North Star
Doctson grew up in Mansfield, Texas, and was a three-year letterman in football and basketball.
He joins three other active-roster Vikings from Texas hometowns: CB Kris Boyd (Gilmer), LS Austin Cutting (Keller) and DE Danielle Hunter (Katy).
CB Holton Hill (suspended), TE David Morgan (injured reserve) and DE Tashawn Bower (non-football injury) also hail from Texas, as do three practice squad members (T Aviante Collins, WR Davion Davis, K Chase McLaughlin).
Mansfield is just a 30-mile drive from Boyd’s hometown of Gilmer.
