Kyle Rudolph is off to a great start on social media today.
It started when some fans noticed a tweet from Rudolph from Sunday, where the Vikings tight end was surprised to see that he wasn’t a first-round pick in NFL.com’s 2011 draft do-over story.
Still can't get drafted in the first round 6 years later… 🤔 https://t.co/i5jaIutu4d

Rudolph, a second-round pick in 2011, then got attacked by a guy who said he wouldn’t have drafted him at all. This is where the fun begins.

Maybe one day you'll have a 100 yard game in the NFL…. eh prolly not. https://t.co/9OZBHp5EmP

Then someone went at Rudolph with a “#YourTrash” tweet and referenced Rudolph’s tweet from last October about fans jumping off the Vikings’ bandwagon.

Rudolph fired back by telling the guy to “get lost” because he’s a San Jose Sharks fan living in Minnesota. The guy has tweeted a few times about the Sharks.
You live in MN and you're a sharks fan… get lost ✌🏻 https://t.co/Sf3j6YlGso

Another bro entered battle when he tried to tell Rudolph his use of “you’re” should have been “your.” That, obviously, is wrong and deserves a big fat LOL.
"You are a sharks fan" = You're
But thanks for trying to be grammar police 🚨 https://t.co/bLww6OX60S— Kyle Rudolph (@KyleRudolph) April 12, 2017
Why is Rudolph bothering with unprovoked Twitter rage?
“It’s fun, offseason and not much to do after working out,” he said.
