Vikings' Justin Jefferson learns reality of being a second-year standout

"Humble over Hype" isn't a phrase one would expect to see on a T-shirt being worn by an NFL receiver.

Typically, they tend to lack the former and really love the latter.

But into the TCO Performance Center's media room walked that T-shirt on Justin Jefferson, the Vikings' second-year star wideout, who last year made the Pro Bowl and set the NFL rookie record for receiving yards in a season (1,400).

"You always gotta be humble," said Jefferson, who heads into Sunday night's home game against Dallas ranked in the top 10 in the NFL in targets (59), catches (41) and receiving yards (542).
