Related Topics: Ahmad Gardner, Justin Jefferson

New York Jets cornerback Sauce Gardner has already been through a gauntlet of opposing wide receivers. Just 11 games in, the rookie’s resume includes standout performances against players like Ja’Marr Chase, Tyreek Hill, and Stefon Diggs.

But this week’s test might be his greatest challenge of the season.

Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has a strong case to be the best wide receiver in football. Jefferson leads the NFL with 4,248 receiving yards since he entered the league in 2020. He is the only player over the 4,000-yard mark across that span.
