Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson opened up about his deep respect for former teammate Kirk Cousins. Jefferson detailed their partnership's profound impact on him during his early NFL years.
Jefferson burst onto the NFL scene in 2020 as Cousins' primary target, forming a dynamic offensive duo in Minnesota's passing game. Together, they compiled an impressive stat line: 392 passes, 5,899 yards, and 30 touchdowns, particularly shining during their remarkable 13-4 campaign in 2022.
On Friday, Justin Jefferson shared his thoughts with reporters ahead of the Week 14 matchup between the Vikings and Falcons at U.S. Bank Stadium in Minneapolis, Minnesota:
“We probably shared a message or two, me thanking him for, of course, the start [of my career] and everything,” Jefferson said. “But I always respect Kirk and always will be thankful for what he has done for me. So I feel like I didn’t even have to share that message with him, he already knows how I feel about him.”
