Justin Jefferson could be on the brink of a Cooper Kupp sort of year with coach Kevin O’Connell jumping ship from the Los Angeles Rams to the Minnesota Vikings.
NFL.com’s Adam Schein has even gone as far as ranking the Vikings star wideout eighth on his list of top-nine dark horse MVP candidates.
It makes sense considering Kupp was in that very same spot with the Rams last season. The award was obviously given to Green Bay Packers quarterback Aaron Rodgers, but Kupp’s name was consistently in the mix in a year where he hauled in a ridiculous 145 receptions for 1,947 yards and 16 touchdowns.
