It was announced on Friday that Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson would participate in the team’s third-quarter game broadcast. He would join legendary broadcaster Paul Allen on the call, which turned into something memorable for both them and the people lucky enough to listen.
Jefferson immediately went from “media member” to teammate, and it led to some excellent moments that the Vikings’ social media team could share with everyone who missed it.
He was on the call for both of J.J. McCarthy’s touchdown passes, one to Trishton Jackson and the other to Trent Sherfield. The play to Sherfield was great due to the fact that Jefferson was calling for them to push the ball downfield more, and they did that immediately afterward.
This was all capped off by the third quarter ending, and both Jefferson and Allen were sad their fun had to end. Hopefully, they rehash it in the remainder of the preseason games.
