For the first five-plus seasons of his career, Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been no stranger to making NFL history. And during the Vikings' 16-13 win over the New York Giants on Sunday at MetLife Stadium, the four-time Pro Bowler made some more.
Coming into the Week 16 matchup with Big Blue, Jefferson had tallied 561 career regular-season receptions, putting him just three shy of the NFL record for the most catches by a player in their first six seasons.
This record was owned by Jarvis Landry, who recorded 564 in his first six years, the first 400 with the Miami Dolphins from 2014 to 2017 and another 164 with the Cleveland Browns between the 2018 and 2019 campaigns.
