Cooper Kupp broke records and nearly won an NFL MVP when Kevin O’Connell was still the offensive coordinator for the Los Angeles Rams. Now that O’Connell is the head coach for the Minnesota Vikings, All-Pro wideout Justin Jefferson is going to be one of the most important players on the field for his team.
Some would say Jefferson is the next Kupp, but given his overall physical attributes, he could be even better.
O’Connell knows what he has in No. 18, and it goes far beyond the confines of being an elite playmaker with sure-handed catches and precise route-running. Oh yeah, and we can’t leave out the showmanship. Those “Griddy” touchdown celebrations are always a sight to behold.
