Justin Jefferson continues to soar to new heights as a Viking receiver. Jefferson, who had three catches on the opening drive against the Rams, moved into the top five in Vikings history for receiving yards after catching his first pass of the game.

Jefferson surpassed Jake Reed, who had 6,433 receiving yards during his time in Minnesota. Jefferson still has to get past Adam Thielen, Anthony Carter, Randy Moss and Cris Carter to reach the top of the mountain of Viking greatness. Carter has 12,383 career yards at Minnesota.

The former 2020 first-round pick is in his fifth season with Minnesota. Barring any injuries, Jefferson has more than a chance to get where Carter is with how dynamic he is and the way Minnesota is throwing the football with Kevin O’Connell.
