Justin Jefferson
From the Set Modern Legends of the Turf
Justin Jefferson was the fifth wide receiver selected in the 2020 NFL Draft when the Minnesota Vikings picked him 22nd overall. In their first four seasons, Jefferson had 754 more receiving yards than the next closest receiver in that class, piling up that yardage in six fewer games. This is the kind of prodigious talent defensive backs have been dealing with since Jefferson burst into the league with a 1,400 yard rookie season. As Justin Jefferson explores, the unstoppable wideout would go on to lead the league in catches and receiving yards to win Offensive Player of the Year honors in 2022, and garner universal acclaim as the best pass catcher in the league.
