David Morgan II

Morgan was released by the Vikings on March 13, 2020, with a failed physical designation.

On August 31, 2019, Morgan was placed on the reserve/PUP list to start the season after undergoing knee surgery in the offseason. Later, in February 2020, it was revealed that Morgan season suffered a knee dislocation in a 2018 game against the Detroit Lions.

On November 12, 2017, Morgan caught his first career touchdown against the Washington Redskins.

After moving up eight slots in the sixth round of the 2016 NFL Draft, the Minnesota Vikings acquired the 188th overall pick and selected Morgan, making him the first ever player from UTSA to be drafted.

As a rookie in 2016, Morgan played 11 games and had one reception for four receiving yards.

At UTSA, Morgan served as the go-to target for his quarterback. Playing as a reserve in 2011, Morgan flashed talent by catching 13 passes for 214 yards and two touchdowns, with at least one reception in the opening nine contests. He posted a career-long catch-and-run of 63 yards in the season opener against Northeastern State. The following year, Morgan redshirted due to injury and managed just seven catches for 69 yards in his return in 2013. He earned honorable mention All-CUSA recognition as a junior in 2014, nabbing 20 passes for 255 yards and a score while missing more time with another injury. As a senior in 2015, Morgan started all 12 games for the Roadrunners and was named a second-team All-American and second-team All-CUSA selection after finishing among the leading tight ends in the country with 45 receptions for 566 yards and setting the school's single-season record for touchdowns with five while also proving to be a great blocker (Pro Football Focus (PFF) graded him as the top run-blocking tight end in the nation). He twice managed nine receptions in a game during the season, against Louisiana Tech and Arizona, with his 109-yard effort against the Wildcats being UTSA’s first 100-yard receiving game in three years. Morgan refused to take all the credit, saying in the press release: "This is an outstanding honor, one that would not have been possible without my coaches and teammates. To become the first All-American in UTSA history is something that is very humbling.”

Born in Marble Falls, Texas, Morgan attended Marble Falls High School. A basketball and soccer player his entire life, Morgan started his football journey as a quarterback. From eighth grade on, he started playing as a wide receiver and helped lead his team to its first playoff appearance. He recorded 27 receptions for 478 yards (17.7 avg.) and eight touchdowns en route to first-team all-district honors as a junior. As a senior in 2010, he received second-team class 4A all-state, Austin American-Statesman first-team All-Centex and first-team All-District 25-4A honors after hauling in 68 passes for 1,251 yards (18.4 avg.) and 14 touchdowns. Aside from football, Morgan was a three-time academic all-district honoree and earned honorable mention academic all-state accolades as a senior and also participated in track & field at Marble.
