Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has become one of the best emerging wide receivers in the NFL since entering in 2020.As a rookie, he recorded 1,400 receiving yards in 2020, and his 3,016 career receiving yards in his first two seasons are an NFL-record.While Jefferson thinks Davante Adams is currently the best wide receiver in the NFL, he thinks he will become the best wide out in the next year.Jefferson said:"I'll say, after this year, I'll be the best receiver in the NFL," Jefferson told Complex, which published the interview on Thursday. "I definitely have to give it to Davante Adams as of now, him being so crazy and dynamic on the field. His route running is crazy, so I definitely have to give it to him right now, but I'm pretty sure, after this year, it's going to be me."He added:"It's not normal for people to get that many yards consistently, back-to-back like that," Jefferson said. "Really just working on my weaknesses that I felt that I had throughout the season, always working on my game. I'm always working on route running, always can work on catching the ball, so just trying to better my craft at all of those different categories."And with this new offense with Coach O'Connell, all of us are excited about this new playbook, and hopefully, we have a better season this year."Adam Schefter@AdamSchefterMore on Justin Jefferson praising Davante Adams as the NFL's best receiver during a recent interview with Complex, but adding that he's “pretty sure after this year, it's going to be me.”espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…1755140More on Justin Jefferson praising Davante Adams as the NFL's best receiver during a recent interview with Complex, but adding that he's “pretty sure after this year, it's going to be me.”espn.com/nfl/story/_/id…NFL fans react to Justin Jefferson claiming he will take over as the best wide receiver in the league soonMinnesota Vikings v Detroit LionsNFL fans provided mixed reactions to Jefferson's claim.
