Amid a disappointing season for the Minnesota Vikings, one of the constants for them was Justin Jefferson's positive attitude and leadership to help keep the team on track when things seemed close to veering off.

On Sunday, in the Vikings’ season finale against the Packers, Jefferson officially clinched 1,000 receiving yards for the season. Jefferson’s eclipsed this amount in each of his six NFL seasons, becoming just the third NFL player to do so. The other two? Randy Moss and Mike Evans—pretty elite company to join.

Vikings insider Alec Lewis highlighted a telling answer from Justin Jefferson about J.J. McCarthy during a recent interview.

With his fifth catch on Sunday against the rival Green Bay Packers, a simple hitch route he turned into a 17-yard gain, the four-time Pro Bowl wide receiver hit the four-digit mark for the sixth consecutive year. Jefferson immediately received a loud ovation from the U.S. Bank Stadium crowd.

Justin Jefferson came into Sunday's regular season finale needing 53 yards to reach 1,000 for a sixth straight season to begin his NFL career. That was clearly a priority for Kevin O'Connell and the Vikings, who got their superstar player to that milestone well before halftime at U.S. Bank Stadium.

NFL star Justin Jefferson owes much of his success to his parents, John and Elaine Jefferson, who supported him and his two older brothers in sports from a young age. Both parents played basketball, and the siblings naturally excelled in football.

With a 17-yard reception in the second quarter against the Green Bay Packers, Jefferson went over the 1,000-yard mark for the 2025 season, making it the sixth consecutive season that he has gone over that mark.

Justin Jefferson endured a dismal 2025 campaign. The Vikings wideout is one of football's best pass-catchers, but his talents were blotted amid a slew of inaccurate tosses from the likes of J.J. McCarthy, Carson Wentz and Max Brosmer.
