There’s a hero in the making with Justin Jefferson and his performance this season with the Minnesota Vikings.
While receivers are trying to break records this season, it’s Jefferson that’s shining the most.
With one statistic, he’s blowing everyone else out of the water.
Jefferson Has The Entire Giants Receiving Core Beat In One Stat
The beast inside of Jefferson in 2022 is seeing him dominate all other receivers.
However, with receptions of 20+ yards, he ranks at the top with 25.
But those 25 receptions of 20+ yards are four more than the entire New York Giants receiving core.

These numbers don’t include the 20-yard catch he had during his game against the Indianapolis Colts, which now puts him at 26 for the season.
His performance puts him three ahead of Tyreek Hill and 11 ahead of Stefon Diggs.
With these two players being the second and third-place contenders against Jefferson, he’s showing pure dominance in 2022.
However, he’s looking to crush one other statistic going into the last three games of 2022.
Jefferson Looks To Set Record For Single Season Receiving Yards
With three games remaining, Jefferson is 341 yards from tying Calvin Johnson‘s receiving yards record.
While the Vikings might pull Jefferson if they can’t clinch the number one playoff seed, he still has a shot to break this record.
If the Vikings let him play, he has three opponents who rank in the top-15 in pass defense.
While he wants to break this record, the Vikings playoff placement will decide if he plays or not.
