Justin Jefferson reaches 5,000-yard receiving mark
This is just the fourth season in the NFL for wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Yet, the 24-year-old has already reached an important milestone in his career. In the Week 2 matchup against the Philadelphia Eagles, Jefferson surpassed the 5,000 receiving yard mark. It took the Minnesota Vikings wide receiver just 52 games to accomplish that feat.
He tied Hall of Fame wide receiver Lance Alworth, who played for the San Diego Chargers, who also did so in 52 games.
Through two weeks this season, Jefferson has 20 receptions for 309 receiving yards. He has yet to catch a touchdown this season. Although Minnesota's defense has struggled to put enough points on the board, the wide receiver looks to be on pace to break 1,000 receiving yards again this season.
In 2022, on his way to the Offensive Player honors, he hit a career-high 1,809 receiving yards and a career-high 128 catches.
To put Justin Jefferson's accomplishments in perspective, there's another startling statistic. In just his fourth NFL season, the wide receiver already has more receiving yards than any player that has ever played for the Chicago Bears.
A stat that Minnesota Vikings fans are sure to celebrate over their NFC North rivals.
