Justin Jefferson says exchange with Kirk Cousins was blown out of proportion

Justin Jefferson said Tuesday it's a "big honor" to be the first Vikings rookie receiver since Randy Moss to be named to a Pro Bowl in his first year. The NFL's eighth-leading receiver also said a moment between him and quarterback Kirk Cousins from Sunday's loss to the Bears is getting blown out of proportion.

Jefferson, who has 73 catches for 1,182 yards and seven touchdowns, was one of two Vikings, along with running back Dalvin Cook, chosen for the NFC's Pro Bowl roster on Monday night.

"I'm so happy that I'm honored to be on that list up with the top guys in the NFL," said the 21-year-old Jefferson.
