Justin Jefferson Has Clutch Dodgeball Play for NFC…

The AFC team consisted of Chubb, Ravens TE Mark Andrews, Bills WR Stefon Diggs, Chiefs WR Tyreek Hill, James, Jones, Raiders WR Hunter Renfrow and Browns CB Denzel Ward.

Cousins is an avid dodgeball player; in addition to participating in the event during the 2019 Pro Bowl in Orlando, the quarterback also regularly incorporates dodgeball into his summer football camps in Michigan and Minnesota.

“I’ve never done great in it [here, though] – I’ve always kind of gotten knocked out,” Cousins quipped beforehand. So hopefully this year, I can be the last man standing.”

Though Cousins didn’t last until the end, he hung in until mid-game.

Cousins also competed in the Thread the Needle event, in which one QB from each team threw balls at various targets against DBs from the other squad. Cousins totaled 11 points against James and Ward but was outscored by Jones, who recorded 12 points against Diggs and Slay.

A new event this year included Best Catch, which challenged players to come up with their most creative catches, similar to an NBA dunk contest. Four players – two AFC and two NFC – did two rounds each.

Jefferson and Trevon Diggs received passes from Cousins and wowed the fans, with Jefferson incorporating two footballs, a between-the-legs basketball move, Viktor the Viking and – of course – the Griddy – on his grabs.
