When you are a franchise that once had Randy Moss in his prime, you never expect to get a Wide Receiver of that caliber again. They might have done that with Justin Jefferson.
Jefferson played for LSU on their 2019 National Championship Team, and he impressed the Tigers enough that Minnesota used their 2020 1st Round Pick (22nd Overall) to grab him. He showed immediately why he belonged in the NFL. Jefferson’s elite speed, superb route-running, and exceptional hands made him a Defensive Back’s nightmare. Unafraid of contact, Jefferson had 1,400 Yards as a rookie and 1,616 as a sophomore, and in 2022, he led the league in Receptions (128) and Receiving Yards (1,809) and was the Offensive Player of the Year.
2023 gave Jefferson his first test of adversity, facing a hamstring injury that cost him seven games, but he begins 2024 looking to reclaim the WR1 of the National Football League.
