The Area Where Justin Jefferson Still Needs to Improve

Virtually every meaningful receiving stat is flattering to Justin Jefferson.

The 24-year-old has very quickly emerged as the NFL’s WR1, no small feat when we survey the talent at the position. Davante Adams, Cooper Kupp, Stefon Diggs, Deebo Samuel, Ja’Marr Chase, Tyreek Hill, Jaylen Waddle, Amon-Ra St. Brown, and A.J. Brown (among others) are all exceptional receivers. Jefferson surpasses them all.
