MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) — Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has been named a Second Team All-Pro by The Associated Press after a stellar performance during his rookie season.
It makes him the only rookie to be tabbed a First or Second Team All-Pro this season. He’s also the first Vikings rookie to get the honor since Cordarrelle Patterson was selected to the First Team All-Pro as a kick returner in 2013.
Jefferson, who was the fifth wide receiver selected in the 2020 NFL Draft, had a record-setting season in 2020. Most notably, he broke the 18-year, Super Bowl-era rookie record for receiving yards, 1,400.
