Justin Jefferson Rooting for Ja'Marr Chase to Break Rookie Receiving Yards Record

The connection between 2019 LSU teammates Ja'Marr Chase and Justin Jefferson appears to still be strong with both wide receivers starring in the NFL.

Speaking to reporters on Thursday, Jefferson said he's rooting for Chase to break his record for receiving yards by a rookie.

"He’s been doing a great job," the Minnesota Vikings star said. "He’s killing it, especially having Joe, his college quarterback. I’m proud of him and of Joe, and I hope he does break it."

Joe Burrow, who won the Heisman Trophy for LSU in 2019, has had no problems re-establishing his chemistry with Chase after one year apart.
