It's not often that you see a player in the broadcast booth and have their prediction come true on the same drive. That is exactly what happened to Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

During the third quarter of Saturday's preseason game against the Las Vegas Raiders, Jefferson joined the Vikings' announcers for the entirety of the third quarter and was asked about what plays he would call if he was the offensive coordinator. Well, it didn't take him long to say he would call bombs.

J.J. McCarthy throws a touchdown after Justin Jefferson's prediction

Shortly after Jefferson said that to announcers Paul Allen and Pete Bercich, McCarthy ripped a deep ball up the left sideline to Trishton Jackson for a 45-yard touchdown. Needless to say, Jefferson was hyped for the score and made his presence known.

If he didn't have to dominate on the field, the Vikings could sure use that kind of luck coming from the announce booth.
