Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson impressed some people with his performance in Week 3.
In Week 4, Jefferson showed he could do it again. The rookie wideout has gone for more than 100 yards for two consecutive games. Whether he was making good catches on back shoulder throws or nice runs after making a reception — Jefferson made impressive plays to keep drives moving.
Bleacher Report is rating Jefferson pretty highly. On the outlet’s list of Week 4 takeaways, it said that “Jefferson is already becoming a star.”
Here’s what else it had say about the Vikings rookie:
“In a season-saving victory Sunday over the Houston Texans, the 21-year-old LSU product was a contested-catch machine en route to his second 100-yard performance in as many weeks. Quarterback Kirk Cousins completed all four of the deep passes on which Jefferson was targeted, giving him eight deep receptions on nine targets this season.”
Cousins had a big day on Sunday and I think it had something to do with getting both Adam Thielen and Jefferson involved in the passing game. If he keeps doing that, this Minnesota offense is going to be efficient. Now, it’s up to the defense to get stops.
