LeBron James compliments Vikings WR Justin Jefferson on his rookie season

NBA legend LeBron James had high praise for Vikings rookie receiver Justin Jefferson.

Justin Jefferson had a historic rookie season, which garnered praise from fans and analysts alike.

NBA legend LeBron James is one of the latest to chime in, congratulating Jefferson on a stellar first year in the NFL. Jefferson was talking about Space Jam 2 on his Instagram story and the Los Angeles Lakers star replied to it.

After James responded, Jefferson wrote back “Much love.”

The Vikings wide receiver finished his first NFL season with 1,400 receiving yards and seven touchdowns. Despite a rough start for the team, the Vikings got back into playoff contention and Jefferson’s success was a big reason why.

Although four wide receivers were taken before Jefferson in the draft, he is looking like the best wideout in his class after his first season. He might even be the best player overall.
