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. Sköl
I had a very similar growth spurt my Junior year unfortunately I didn't end up as one of the best revievers in the nation after but i was a beast of a volleyball player lol
I had the same growth spurt went from 5’8 to 6’2 and I’m in my senior year now unfortunately my path is not the same as Justin got no offers. don’t know if I should keep going and try to walk on or do prep to get an offer somewhere and work hard to make it
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.
they all sound like a classy respectful family. JJ is the face of the NFL and already a cultural icon. so glad to be a vikings fan and root for this young mozart
Man, Jordan could have been such a good QB. Played against him in the state quarterfinals for Higgins. He was such a good qb, he threw it everywhere that night. Shame Les failed to get him a proper coach to develop him.
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
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
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.
@Boy Wonder but he hasn’t? Dude has started every game the last 3 seasons except the first 3 games his rookie season with almost 500 targets. He plays smart & he’s not a quarterback getting hit 60% of the game
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
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.
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!!!
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.
Personally I think it says a lot about how hard you willing to work when your nfl stats are astronomically higher than your high school stats. Never stopped working
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.
Dang man. Im a 21 year old senior in college. In 6’4, and was never interested in football until this past year. Im definitely feeling down about never playing football. I know i would have enjoyed it a lot as either a cornerback, receiver, or qb. It sucks knowing ill never get the opportunity to even try
Dennis Rodman joined the nba at 20 something with no prior experience and became a beast, not saying you’ll be in nfl but you can definitely play in a different league

He seems like a legit good dude too, I love seeing good character men kill it in the league. I don't know how you can't love this guy and how he plays and I am not even a Vikings fan
Man, plays with so much personality. If his name wasn't on the back of his jersey you could still tell who's got the ball. Just got the intangibles that make him Jefferson.
He’s a nightmare for DB’s arguably one of the best route runners in the NFL Edit: his story is so inspirational just to show that if you never give up you can always catch your dreams 🫡
He looks so different when he was younger. Can't really blame them for giving him 2 stars. Look at him now. Justin Jefferson is a God of the field 🙌 👏 SKOL
Its safe to say, Ed Os recruitment and belief in JJ changed his life for the better. Best reciever in his first 3 years since Obj’s start, hes got a HUGE payday comin in the next few years.
He had an amazing season this year…his catch late in the 4th quarter on 4th down against the Bills has to already be in the top 20 graters catches of all time

JJ's story is amazing. He's a fighter and never gives up. He's the man! He can be explosive !
Mom, dad, two older brothers, all helping... What a nice family. I'm jelly.
I feel that
Dawg who you telling. I just wish I had that foundation behind me
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.

Nah, receivers often peak before their 30's. 8-10 seasons is a more realistic career length.
@@tt128556 that’s your opinion, there’s are plenty of Wide outs who have success after 30 & JJ isn’t your average receiver, but to each his own

I’ve always respected jjettas game since his break out year in college but after watching this video he is now my favorite player. Very inspirational
I am so glad that we got Jefferson, loved him at LSU and glad he’s on the team of Minnesota
He is the WR of this generation. Absolutely amazing player
The dude was a steal in the draft. Love watching JJ
From unranked recruit to first round draft pick . A testament to if you work hard you can achieve almost anything
Or have someone in your family work hard and get rewarded off the back of that.
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!!!
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

Very humble guy and knows how to handle his $$, I like him a lot.

Justin's father and mother own a rental property across the street from my brother in uptown New Orleans. They are a solid family; good people.
2 Words. Handwork and Perseverance.
Nothing cooler than when a young guy w very little hope grows up to be a giant.
that kids got talent
quick AND fast, great hands, great route runner and can take a hit. he has a bright future ahead of him
Hard work, dedication, and a beautiful griddy can get you anywhere
He’s the best WR I’ve seen since Moss, Rice
There's no stopping this kid .
I watched the lsu vs Clemson and I was a Clemson and I still am
everywhere he has been was a winner. the kid is a winner.
Justin Jefferson is a beast man! I love watching that dude play!
Geaux JJ!
💜🐯💛
Loki, Justin is insane🥶
And HE DOES NOT DROP ANY PASSES THAT ARE EVER THROWN IN HIS VISCINITY..J.J. YOU A BEAST!💯💪
What you see is someone allowed to develop without pressure.This was good, thanks!
Man, plays with so much personality. If his name wasn't on the back of his jersey you could still tell who's got the ball. Just got the intangibles that make him Jefferson.
he’s magic. a football prodigy, the mozart of the NFL
I couldn't believe Jefferson fell down the draft that far. Scouts were insane for this, it was easy to see
By far my favorite football player in the league now
route running man. #1 trait a prospect can have.
*playmaker …u can have the routes and still drop the ball
Justin has an amazing abilty that should never be taken away and his touchdown celebration is amazing i love it
That 1 hand catch he made was incredible
Give this man MVP
I'm lucky to have JJ! go vikes!
Nice brothers story. Cool he had that support and guidance along the way.
He’s a nightmare for DB’s arguably one of the best route runners in the NFL
Edit: his story is so inspirational just to show that if you never give up you can always catch your dreams 🫡
DESTREHAN GANG!!!!
Image jamar chase,joe burrow,Justin Jefferson, and diggs that is a crazy team
Everytime I hear my Eagles passed up on him I cry a little .
only og's know that he started the griddy at LSU
After he made that crazy OBJ 2.0 catch there is no question concerning his athleticism.
Obj not the only mf to one hand a ball 😂
Absolute beast and fun to watch.
That thumbnail: How Scottie Barnes became a football player
As an eagles fan, this video is nothing but pain…
My thoughts exactly
his routes are so buttery.
I was happy the Bills traded for Diggs until I saw that Jefferson would've been on the board. He was by far my #1 WR and was shocked he fell that far
this man went to my college and nfl teams rivals😂😂 i still love this man
Justin Jefferson is Amazing!LSU is Receiving University!
he alao a good kid. qoeks hard and very humble
He looks so different when he was younger. Can't really blame them for giving him 2 stars. Look at him now. Justin Jefferson is a God of the field 🙌 👏 SKOL

one of the greatest receivers I've ever seen. Just has has the tools and dedication to will his way to the top.
Now he’s on the plane back to Minnesota. LETS GO GIANTS !!
Imagine Jefferson on Cincinnati with chase and burrow🤯
JJ got screwed in rookie of the year.
This video was so well put together
JJ is elite!
WORK and PLAY are both 4 letter words
But to WIN you must WORK
2:48🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
LOL when Justin started high school he was small at 5'7". I was 4'6".
Justin Jefferson legit is future hall of famer if he can do what he’s doing another 3-4 years it’ll be solidified fs
Man LSU knows how to make find talented receivers
Facts
couldnt wait for this one, this was a banger
Hard work beats talent!
Jefferson Is da beast huge respect hes my idol!
MAY GOD BLESS YOU ALL AND LEAD YOU ALL DOWN THE PATH OF RIGHTEOUSNESS, AMEN.
Best entrance ever by an NFL player if ya know you know
I always check to see how he's doing, this past week the Vikings lost to the Lions, Jefferson had 223 receiving yards, good God
Its safe to say, Ed Os recruitment and belief in JJ changed his life for the better. Best reciever in his first 3 years since Obj’s start, hes got a HUGE payday comin in the next few years.

I prefer his road to success because it makes him hungry and he will always play having something to prove
