JJ is such a likeable guy. Im not even a Vikings fan, but I love watching this man play; the dude is a beast!

[TTLOL]

Justin Jefferson is just incredible, his route running, his awareness, his ball controlling he really is a huge stud he’s one of the reasons why I love watching football

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.

Justin Jefferson single handedly turned my fantasy team around 😂

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

I respect Justin a lot more after this video

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.

The man's got some DAWG in him. Love watching him play

JJ's story is amazing. He's a fighter and never gives up. He's the man! He can be explosive !

[Zombiesteve]

That grow spurt was insane!!!! He truly is true beast of a player.

[JLnbch]

Hats off to the kid. He's as tough as they come (taking a lot of dirty shots), he's clutch (the moment is never too big for him), and a true professional.

[thenewfire]

Jefferson and Chase are ridiculous. It's going to be a lot of fun watching them and OSUs WRs over the next few years

[connorbensadoun]

He is insane and deserve all the fame he has, if he sees this good job Justin.

[charliecrackers]

I knew all of them and they were all stand up kids. Graduated in 06 from DHS, great school that’s put some players out.

[zacharywasbers]

I realized that if justin started his the first three games in his rookie year there was a potenital that he could of put the rookie record out of reach but he is on another level right now

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!!!

[antekm]

He is the WR of this generation. Absolutely amazing player

[Malitubee]

From unranked recruit to first round draft pick . A testament to if you work hard you can achieve almost anything

[yaboicheetah]

I am so glad that we got Jefferson, loved him at LSU and glad he’s on the team of Minnesota

Amazing transformation...as he may be the most elite receiver in the NFL today. Hard to believe only a 2 star. That senior highlight catch looked like someone above that.
