Justin Jefferson could very well be the best receiver in football, but the Minnesota Vikings’ star wideout failed to crack the top-three at his position in the 2022 ESPN rankings.

It’s important to note the rankings were taken from more than 50 voters, including NFL executives, coaches, players and scouts. So this isn’t just one person’s opinion on the matter.
