It’s no secret that Justin Jefferson is one of the best players in the NFL.
Against the Green Bay Packers, Jefferson had a monster day with nine catches for 184 yards and two touchdowns. He did most of his damage on deep crossing routes and ended the first week with the Nickelodeon NVP award and leading the league in receiving yards. Head coach Kevin O’Connell did a great job getting Jefferson in creative situations to get him open.
During the game, Jefferson was mic’d up and after the game, Packers players and coaches had a lot of nice things to say to the NFL’s best wide receiver.
Justin Jefferson was getting all the praise on Sunday:
Aaron Jones: “You didn’t have to do us like that.”
Matt LaFleur: “You wore us out today, man.”
Aaron Rodgers: “Best player on the field today.”

These were some nice superlatives handed out by head coach Matt LaFleur and Aaron Rodgers but the best one came from Aaron Jones who told Jefferson “You didn’t have to do us like that.”
Yes Aaron, yes he did.
