Former LSU football wide receiver Justin Jefferson has a big opportunity as a rookie in the NFL.
The Minnesota Vikings selected LSU football‘s Justin Jefferson with the No. 22 pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.
It’s nearly a perfect situation for Jefferson, who has the potential to fill an immediate need for the Vikings.
That’s because wide receiver Stefon Diggs was traded to the Buffalo Bills prior to the draft. In five seasons with the Vikings, Diggs caught 365 passes for 4,623 yards and 30 touchdowns.
