Overview

• In a TMZ Sports interview on July 12, Moss declared Jefferson on track to become arguably the greatest wide receiver ever and the top Viking target in history.
• He emphasized that prolific yardage must be matched by frequent end-zone visits to achieve true all-time receiver status.
• Jefferson has amassed 495 receptions, 7,432 receiving yards and 40 touchdowns over 77 games in his first five seasons.
• Last offseason he signed a four-year extension that aligns his contract with rookie quarterback J.J. McCarthy’s deal, securing him in Minnesota for the foreseeable future.
• At 26 years old and entering his prime, Jefferson will have the chance to chase Moss’s red-zone benchmarks behind a stable offense.
