Does Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson deserve to be considered a better player than Dalvin Cook heading into the 2021 season?
During his first season with the Minnesota Vikings last year, Justin Jefferson surprised a bunch of people with his impressive performance. Jefferson probably wouldn’t have been the fifth receiver taken off the board in the 2020 NFL Draft if teams knew how quickly he was going to adjust to the pros.
Jefferson wasn’t even in the starting lineup for Minnesota‘s first two games of the 2020 season, yet he still had the best rookie performance by a receiver in a purple and gold uniform since Randy Moss in 1998.
