On Thursday, 16 June, Minnesota Vikings’ star wide receiver Justin Jefferson celebrated his 23rd birthday. Jefferson has taken the league by storm over in his first two seasons, but there’s one statistic that the team shared on Thursday that shows how ridiculously good he’s been.
Of all the wide receivers that have graced a National Football League field in its history, only one of them has managed to amass 3,000 receiving yards before the age of 23. That would be Jefferson, who put up 1,400 yards as a rookie in 2020 and blew that away with 1,616 yards this past season.
