Over the past few years, the wide receiver position in the NFL has become filled with incredibly talented players from top to bottom, as it could be argued that the position has never had so many star players.
Although there are a ton of stars at the position right now in the league, with players like Tyreek Hill, Davante Adams and Ja’Marr Chase putting on a show on a weekly basis during the season, Minnesota Vikings superstar Justin Jefferson is arguably the cream of the crop right now.
Despite coming off a disappointing season due to an injury that kept him sidelined for seven games during the 2023 campaign, Jefferson is still considered to be the league’s best wide receiver and was recently heavily featured on Netflix’s show “Receiver” which showcased the NFL’s elite players at the position.
Even though the Vikings are going through a transition period with veteran quarterback Kirk Cousins leaving the team in NFL free agency to sign with the Atlanta Falcons, Jefferson seems to be in good spirits, as he was recently seen sitting courtside at a WNBA game, with Caitlin Clark’s Indiana Fever taking on the Minnesota Lynx via The Purple Persuasion.

Heading into the 2024 NFL season, Jefferson will try to have a bounce-back season in Minnesota, with the team bringing in veteran quarterback Sam Darnold and rookie JJ McCarthy to fill the void left by Cousins’ departure.
In 10 games last season, Jefferson caught 68 passes for 1,074 receiving yards and five touchdowns, which was still impressive considering the situation in Minnesota.
