Justin Jefferson on Vikings picking Kevin O'Connell for head coach: 'I'm happy'

Count receiver Justin Jefferson among the players happy with the Vikings' choice to make Rams offensive coordinator Kevin O'Connell the next head coach. Talking with NFL Media in Las Vegas before the Pro Bowl, Jefferson said he's pleased with having the head coach on his side of the ball, which he could see even more as the Vikings hire the coach that directs the Rams' passing attack.
