Since entering the NFL in 2020, Justin Jeffferson has wasted no time building a Hall-of-Fame caliber resume and remains firmly one of the NFL’s most special talents. And it could be a long night for Atlanta Falcons defensive coordinator Jeff Ulbrich, who will be tasked with slowing down the world-class wideout on Sunday Night Football in Week 2.
