One thing not mentioned is that the Vikings traded Diggs to Buffalo for a couple picks, one of them being a first round pick. We used that first round pick to select JJ. It has to go down in history as the most mutual/beneficial trade in NFL history. Bills get Stefon, a truly reliable WR1 for Josh Allen. We got JJ who is already the best WR in the league at such a young age. Sköl

Justin Jefferson won me my fantasy league in his rookie season. Was one of the last picks in our whole league draft but me as a vikings fan believed in him! You can only love this guy and his way of playing.

[@KBarron43]

What really makes Justin stand out is the probable longevity he’ll have in the NFL, a lot of stars play football all through grade school, highschool, & college. So their body’s have already taken a toll before getting into the big leagues. Jefferson only saw a fraction of field time before going pro. Dude will have a solid 15 years if he stays consistently healthy. Best receiver in the league right now

[@BeachBumNomad]

Yep, not to mention his game isn’t focused on athleticism but on his route running which is more sustainable for longer careers, a lot like Davante in that sense

[@ggballaholics3017]

I agree with everything you said except the best Receiver part right now. Problem is the Vikings have a habit of letting guys go in there prime still. Examples: Randy Moss, Stephon Diggs, Treadwell, etc. Hopefully he stays there.

Nah, receivers often peak before their 30's. 8-10 seasons is a more realistic career length.

Davante Adams was a 2 star WR as well. Players develop at a different rate and this is an awesome video to remind all the young players watching this video to stay on your grind and work for everything you want to earn!!!

[@SGSensei]

also life happens its crazy how many great potential players didn't even go to college to play ball luck is huge for these guys

[@brandons4301]

What's crazy is the mid level power five they offer all the top 300 kids that ever school does.Then there are kids they like but don't offer until a non power 5 or a lower ranked power 5 offers. So much group think it's not even funny. That's why ever year they will be D2 or lower ranked schools having guys go pro. If my team only drafted 5 starts I don't think that NFL team would be very good.

[@rexgoodheart3471]

So, this particular long-in-the-tooth LSU alumnus thanks you for making a bio on one of his absolute favorite Tigers. And I've seen many.

I badly wanted my 9ers to grab Justin in the draft but they drafted Kinlaw 😐! Much rather had Jefferson to give the 9er offense a true alpha WR. I like Aiyuk too and he is still growing (and Kyle’s offense doesn’t help either) but I felt JJ skill was that good to transform a offense to elite!
