Justin Jefferson's skyrocketing ascension reached new heights during the 2022 NFL season. Before the season began, the Vikings superstar said he wanted to be known as the league's best receiver. He made a compelling case by leading in nearly every receiving category.
By Thanksgiving night, Jefferson had passed Vikings legend and Hall of Fame receiver Randy Moss for most yardage in a player's first three NFL seasons. The 23-year-old Jefferson broke a record that stood for nearly 22 years with a leaping downfield grab through a Patriots double team of safety Devin McCourty and cornerback Jonathan Jones.
