Ben Leber sums it up
Here's my thought: when I hear someone say this kid is 'so pro ready' and he's 'mature' as a rookie, it usually means he's limited or slow. Jefferson has all the talent in the world AND he cares about his craft and working hard. He's a great route runner already. Confident. Catches everything. He's stronger than his frame suggests. Decent speed. I said about 5 weeks ago to pump the brakes until we see more but its blatantly obvious the Vikings have gotten a legit playmaker.
One more 100 yard game and he overtakes Randy Moss for the most rookie 100 yard games record....Randy. Moss. That’s some awesome stuff right there.

I'd love to say that I expected this, because I did have him as my #1 receiver in the draft, but rookies never play this well. What he's doing is just shocking. It seems every time he's thrown the ball very good things happen.
I'll say it again. Thanks Howie Roseman.
Not only is he putting up veteran numbers, but he's so much fun to watch. This whole receiving class is absolutely insane, and may be the best class at any position ever. That being said, there are some nice receivers coming out in this upcoming class and I wouldnt mind snagging one in the later rounds.
He is getting plenty of opportunity because of the WRs on the team. Moss would come in as the 3rd receiver, JJ is the 2nd receiver. Anyway you look at it he is a stud and the best is probably yet to come.
I like the fight in his game, I do fear a diva complex coming on as he continues to excel, i kind of wish he would dial back the post play shit, nothing good comes from pissing off the defenders by trash talking and Cousins has been known to hang a receiver out to dry at times giving those defenders their chance to shut him up.
Let's factor in no rookie camp, no OTAs, no preseason games, limited training camp...what he's doing is Mossian, but not on a physical talent level, but between the ears level...
He's the real deal...

Yep. There's a reason he continuously grades well and is constantly being touted by analysts, former players, etc. I still laugh that for two games our staff thought Bisi was better lolz
