Justin Jefferson makes Minnesota Vikings history on Thursday

Justin Jefferson continues to reach new heights as a Viking receiver. Jefferson, who had three catches on the first drive against the Rams, moved into the top five in Vikings history in receiving yards after catching his first pass of the game.

Jefferson surpassed Jake Reed, who had 6,433 receiving yards during his time in Minnesota. Jefferson still has to get past Adam Thielen, Anthony Carter, Randy Moss and Cris Carter to get to the top of the mountain of Viking greatness. Carter has 12,383 career yards at Minnesota.

The former 2020 first-round pick is in his fifth season with Minnesota. Barring injuries, Jefferson has more than a chance of getting to Carter with his drive and the way Minnesota throws the football along with Kevin O'Connell.
