Cant help but get up for this kinda work ethic...
Similarities in Chad Johnson and Justin JeffersonTime will determine if Jefferson can carve a legacy to a similar degree that Johnson has in the league, but the 21-year-old rookie is off to a good start.
It took Johnson three years to earn his first Pro Bowl and five years to surpass 1,400 receiving yards in a single season, both feats Jefferson accomplished his rookie season.
What made Johnson excel was his route-running and quick feet that helped him create separation and his body control.
Jefferson was touted coming out of college for his body control, a trait that was overshadowed by critiques that he only played in the slot his senior year at LSU, although he played outside his junior year.
He proved the critics wrong this season becoming both a threat in the slot and as a deep threat, largely through his ability to create separation and produce highlight-worthy plays solely on his route-running.

Jefferson came out of college a much more physically gifted receiver than Johnson with strong marks in the 40-yard dash (4.43, 76th percentile), vertical jump (37.5 inches, 77th percentile, broad jump (126 inches, 83rd percentile) and arm length (33 inches, 78th percentile), per Mockdraftables.
Jefferson, without rookie minicamps and a true preseason, exceeded expectations in his first year. Now, he’ll have an offseason to recuperate and study his game, potentially with the help of Johnson and other elite wideouts in the league.

Hurry-up Vikings, we ain't getting any younger!
Jefferson accepted the challenge, replying “say less be there Monday.”LMAO.
I'll be honest, I loved CJ the football player, but I dont want JJ anywhere near that type of personality. Although I do think JJ may be tough enough mentally to not fall trap to the diva WR personna.
Would love to see Minnesota grab a WR in the first 4 rounds with upside.
I loved Jefferson's rookie season and he is only going to get better. Good for him.
