After a fantastic week one against the Green Bay Packers, it should come as no surprise that Justin Jefferson is atop the NFL in receiving yards.
The Vikings did a great job in working Jefferson open in a myriad of ways on Sunday. Head coach Kevin O’Connell moved him around in a few ways, including getting Jefferson lined up across from an edge rusher and having him in the backfield.
One of the more impressive plays on Sunday against the Packers was when Jefferson caught a touchdown on one of the core concepts in this offense: the wave.
Throughout the course of the season, these elements are going to continue. O’Connell did an excellent job scheming open Cooper Kupp open consistently last year and that led to him winning the triple crown.
The sky is the limit for Jefferson’s pursuit of a 2,000-yard season and it is only just the beginning.
