CHICAGO -- Justin Jefferson did indeed make his mark on NFL history this season. It just wasn't the record that he was most hoping for.
The Minnesota Vikings receiver became the youngest player ever to lead the league in catches and receiving yards, according to ESPN Stats & Information research. At 23, Jefferson is 136 days younger than Green Bay Packers receiver Don Hutson was when he lead the league in both categories in 1936.
Jefferson caught four passes for 38 yards Sunday in the Vikings' 29-13 victory over the Chicago Bears, setting his league-high totals at 128 receptions for 1,809 yards.
