Justin Jefferson Sets NFL Receiving Record

Justin Jefferson of the Minnesota Vikings has set a new NFL record for the most receiving yards in a player's first five seasons, surpassing Hall of Famer Torry Holt with a total of 6,811 yards during a game against the Tennessee Titans. At just 25 years old and in his fifth season, Jefferson has already established himself as one of the league's premier wide receivers, having broken multiple franchise and league records since joining the Vikings as the No. 22 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft. His performance against the Titans brought his season total to 912 receiving yards, positioning him to achieve a fifth consecutive 1,000-yard season with seven games left to play. Jefferson also recently surpassed former Vikings legend Randy Moss's franchise record for receiving yards in the first five seasons, doing so in ten fewer games than Moss. Despite missing seven games last season due to injury, Jefferson continues to demonstrate remarkable consistency and skill, maintaining an average of over 97 receiving yards per game. His ongoing achievements place him in the conversation for future Hall of Fame recognition as he continues to raise the bar for NFL receivers.
