The Minnesota Vikings have their first ever player join the 99 club twice in wide receiver Justin Jefferson. He was given the accolade ahead of Thursday's game against the Los Angeles Rams.


Jefferson being in the 99 club isn't just for a second time, it's for a second-consecutive season. He was a preseason 99 overall last year after a phenomenal 2022 season when he racked up 1,800 receiving yards. 

Jefferson has been great so far this season, ranking in the top five in receiving yards, as he has 531 yards receiving and five touchdowns on 33 catches in just six games, while the majority of players in the National Football League has played one more game than the Vikings.

It's not just the stats for Jefferson, he beats everybody in every way. Whether it's against zone or man coverage, Jefferson knows how to get open and take advantage of the defense trying to guard him.

Congrats to Jefferson who has done a fantastic job for the Vikings and is getting the recognition he deserves.
