Justin Jefferson has proven to be one of the best players in the NFL, not just wide receivers. He has done so by overcoming anything a defense throws at him, as well as any injuries to his quarterback, which have happened a time or two in his career.
In 2024, Justin Jefferson had consistent quarterback play, but is the idea of not knowing who will be under center in 2025 stressing him?
The team is unsure of what they will do with Sam Darnold at the moment. The window opened for the team to use the franchise tag to bring him back, but that seems to be a decision that has not yet been made. They also have J.J. McCarthy waiting on the side of it all, who the team drafted 10th overall in 2024.
If you ask Jefferson, it can be either one of them, he knows what he is capable of.
“I’m not sure exactly what we’re going to do with Sam and the moves that we’re going to make, but I’m always confident in myself,” Jefferson said. “It don’t matter who’s going to be throwing the ball, I’m going to make a play for sure.”
Jefferson has proven that he is going to be a pivotal part of whoever the team decides to go with. Having a player like Jefferson with that type of mindset is priceless to have both on the field and in the locker room. The team could not be any luckier to have Jefferson for whatever may come next for the team from an offensive point of view.
