In his third season in the NFL, Justin Jefferson is already in the conversation for best receiver in the game. The 23-year-old Minnesota Vikings playmaker makes it a habit to roast defenders week after week — sometimes while wearing sunglasses pre-game — finding ways to be Kirk Cousins’ perfect game-breaker and safety valve at the same time.
A thriller in Buffalo on Sunday saw Jefferson unleash what might be the highlight play of his young, prolific career to this point. The Vikings were backed up in their own end on a fourth and very long, Cousins heaved a jump ball up for Jefferson.
And with the corner draped all over him, Jefferson climbed the ladder to make one of the most ridiculous (and clutch!) one-hand catches you’ll ever see:

HOLY COW! I know the NFL seemingly has more high-end talent at receiver than ever, but I find it hard to believe that anyone but Jefferson makes that kind of play. And on fourth down, too!
Talk about being an incredible playmaker and hero simultaneously. We should probably get used to seeing Jefferson do this to the best teams in the league for a long time.
NFL fans were astonished by Jefferson's ridiculous/clutch one-hand catch against the Bills
Ok. Wrap it up. This is the catch of the year. Justin Jefferson. WOW.

I thought Julio Jones in the Super Bowl was the most acrobatic catch ever. Justin Jefferson would like a word. https://t.co/XE5si5JCz4
