Justin Jefferson Has All-Around Star Potential

Throughout his career at LSU, Jefferson showed the ability to make big plays down the field and be a possession wideout. Quite a few young wide receivers are one or the other. Jefferson has all-around star potential.

If his game translates to the NFL, the Vikings are getting themselves a Davante Adams type of player. A guy who can make plays when needed, but is also a solid receiver when it comes to making the easy plays and being a go-to target.

Adam Thielen is a very similar type of wide receiver. Not having Diggs will limit the Vikings’ deep throws, but they have similar options with Jefferson. Opposing defenses will have a tough time covering both Thielen and the rookie wideout.
