The parents of Justin Jefferson can barely contain their joy as Justin was named the NFC Offensive Player of the Month for November.

Justin Jefferson let go of his senior season to enter the 2020 NFL draft. Luckily, he was selected in the first round by the Minnesota Vikings. 

He had an incredible start to the 2020 NFL season in week 3. Justin put his name on the map by scoring a touchdown against the Tennessee Titans. 

His streak continued the following week as he became one of the fifth Minnesota Vikings to record back-to-back 100+ yard receiving games.
