Justin Jefferson Named 2022 Pro Bowl

Jefferson told Vikings.com earlier this season that he simply wants to be himself, even as he gets compared to Hall of Famers such as Moss and Cris Carter.

“I’m not trying to be like anyone else. I have my own style, my own swagger,” Jefferson said. “I definitely look up to greats like him, greats like Carter. But I don’t try to imitate them. I try to be the best player I can be.

“[Moss] had so many different stats and achievements that he accomplished in his career. He has a Gold Jacket, and I definitely want that,” Jefferson added. “But I just have to keep playing my own game. I think I’m doing pretty good so far.”

Jefferson, a 2020 first-round pick, also made the Pro Bowl a year ago when he set a Super Bowl-era rookie record with 1,400 receiving yards.
