Justin Jefferson has made a name for himself quite quickly in the NFL. The former LSU wide receiver went from a late first-round rookie to a Viking fan favorite and one of the best pass catchers at the pro level in what feels like a blink of an eye. Is it shocking though given the Vikings history with rookie offensive talent?
Since 1998, three Minnesota Vikings have earned the Associated Press Offensive Rookie of the Year award. In that time frame, no other team has had more than two players in the award. Jefferson can join Randy Moss, Adrian Peterson and Percy Harvin from that group.
