Justin Jefferson predicts he’ll overtake Davante Adams as NFL’s best receiver in 2022

Justin Jefferson is calling his shot ahead of the 2022 season.

During an interview with Complex.com, the Minnesota Vikings wideout gave Las Vegas Raiders receiver Davante Adams the ultimate respect by claiming he’s the best in the league right now. But by the end of the season, Jefferson believes he’ll overtake him as the No. 1 player at the position.

“I’ll say after this year I’ll be the best receiver in the NFL,” said Jefferson. “I definitely have to give it to Davante Adams as of now, him being so crazy and dynamic on the field. His route running is crazy, so I definitely have to give it to him right now, but I’m pretty sure after this year, it’s going to be me.”
