During a recent press conference with the media, defensive coordinator Brian Flores spoke on the benefits of having Justin Jefferson for the Minnesota Vikings’ defensive backs, specifically, second-year cornerback Akayleb Evans.
“I don’t think there’s a better guy for him to compete against on a day-to-day basis,” Flores told the media. “[Jefferson is] one of the better receivers in our league…speed, quickness, route-running, releases, you’re not going to see a better opponent…there’s a lot of great receivers in this league, don’t get me wrong, but he’s up there with them…that should give all of our DBs this feeling that…it doesn’t get much worse than this.”
