EAGAN, Minn. -- Five wide receivers were drafted before Justin Jefferson was selected by the Minnesota Vikings 22nd overall and 31 were taken after him.
Nine games into his career, Jefferson leads all rookies with 762 receiving yards (84.7 yards per game, which also ranks No. 1) and has reached the top of the receiving charts on 15 fewer targets than rookie leader Jerry Jeudy of the Denver Broncos, the second receiver off the board in April.
