He appeared to apologise to his teammates when he fumbled a 30-yard catch at the one-yard line while extending for the end zone, resulting in a touchback and turnover. However, it wasn’t all joy for Jefferson in Week 2. The receiver’s performance against the Eagles on ‘Thursday Night Football’ is just another example of his unique ability he is the complete receiver, boasting elite speed, route-running and reliability at the catch point which allows him to dominate. Jefferson is a special talent he is in his fourth year with the Vikings since being selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft, and he is yet to have a season where he totalled fewer than 1,400 receiving yards. The numbers would crush both Michael Thomas’ 2019 receptions record (149) and Calvin ‘Megatron’ Johnson’s 2012 receiving yards mark (1,964).
Jefferson is on pace to put up 170 receptions and over 2,600 receiving yards in 2023. Jefferson is enjoying an electric start to the season - and after two weeks, the Vikings ace is on pace to shatter both the single season records for receptions and receiving yards. The former LSU star is also the first player to have at least 150 receiving yards in the first two games of a new NFL season since Steve Smith did it back in 2011. He also passed Moss to stand alone with the most games of at least 150 receiving yards before turning 25 with 10 thanks to his performance at Lincoln Financial Field. Jefferson now joins Vikings legend Randy Moss, regarded as perhaps the greatest receiver in NFL history alongside Jerry Rice, as the only two players to have put up at least 5,000 receiving yards before the age of 25.

He hit the mark after hauling in a four-yard pass from quarterback Kirk Cousins late in the second quarter, surpassing Odell Beckham Jr., who did so in 54 games. Playing in just his 52nd game, Jefferson also tied Hall of Famer Lance Alworth as the fastest player to 5,000 career receiving yards in the fewest games.
