The Minnesota Vikings have been a hot topic in the NFL during the offseason. With Kirk Cousins heading to the Atlanta Falcons, there’s speculation that the Vikings might draft a quarterback in the upcoming draft. Alongside the quarterback situation, negotiations are ongoing to re-sign Justin Jefferson, who is still on his rookie contract. Jefferson has proven himself as one of the top receivers in the league, leading many to believe the Vikings will set a new standard for receiver contracts with his deal. Despite no agreement yet, Jefferson seems unperturbed.
A recent video showed Jefferson at the Vikings’ stadium, effortlessly launching balls at the crossbar from the 50-yard line. A tweet from “The Purple Persuasion” playfully suggested that the Vikings might not even need a quarterback if Jefferson can throw like that. While it may be in jest, it underscores Jefferson’s exceptional athleticism.
In addition to his receiving skills, Jefferson’s arm strength was showcased, hinting that he could step up to the plate if needed. Similar to Odell Beckham Jr., who has thrown touchdown passes in trick plays, Jefferson could provide some quarterbacking magic for the Vikings. Fans are eagerly anticipating when the team will secure Jefferson with a contract extension.
