    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.

    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

      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.
