As the Minnesota Vikings are embroiled in probably-fake trade talks surrounding Kirk Cousins, wide receiver Justin Jefferson remains an ardent supporter of his quarterback. In a two-week period when Deion Sanders, Sage Rosenfels, and Ian Rapaport questioned the legitimacy of Cousins’ game, the 32-year-old quarterback received a ringing endorsement from his leading wide receiver.
Cousins and Jefferson clicked marvelously in 2020. The LSU alumnus tallied 1,400 receiving yards during his rookie campaign – an NFL record for a first-year pass-catcher. After a couple of weeks settling into the Vikings offense, Jefferson also chipped in seven touchdowns throughout the season.
