Justin Jefferson shows Vikings fans what kind of teammate he is to J.J. McCarthy

All week, Minnesota Vikings fans have not been able to turn on the national sports media shows without one analyst slamming quarterback J.J. McCarthy for his play this season.

It's been an up-and-down first season for McCarthy, who's gone 2-3 as the starter. He hasn't been able to pick up momentum after a second injury in his NFL career cost him about half the season before his return.

With the discourse of McCarthy being at an all-time high, Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson is needed more than ever on and off the field. Jefferson told the media how he is helping his young quarterback through this rough patch in his career.
