Before George Floyd died in police custody on a Minneapolis street, Vikings 21-year-old wide receiver Justin Jefferson wasn't that motivated to vote.
"Honestly, I wasn't into it," Jefferson said. "I didn't know much about it. I never know who to vote for. I never knew who was the right person to be in office."
But over the summer, Jefferson did the work. His mom helped him register to vote in his home state of Louisiana. He started researching which candidates up and down the ballot were going to best reflect his most important issue — addressing America's racial inequality and police brutality.
