Just as the pass rusher is the enemy of the quarterback, so too is the defensive back the enemy of the receiver.
Maybe it’s fitting, then, that the final round of Minnesota Madness features safety Josh Metellus squaring off with receiver Justin Jefferson. The pair are homegrown talents with a “C” on their chests. Both get plenty of praise for putting up wild statistics and each one functions as a cornerstone player for their side of the ball.
And, crucially, both made magnificent plays. For our purposes in Minnesota Madness, the excellent plays are what count.
