One of the biggest issues with the Minnesota Vikings has been the lack of service to Justin Jefferson thanks to their issues at quarterback. Arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL, he has been severely impacted by their poor offensive play. But all that is about to change.
Jefferson and Kirk Cousins had one of the NFL’s most productive partnerships during their time together in Minnesota, connecting for 5,396 yards and 28 touchdowns in the regular season. The wide receiver emerged as one of the best in the league when he was playing with Cousins. And now that the QB has returned, he explained why that will make a huge difference for him.
Justin Jefferson highlighted Kirk Cousins’ understanding of how he plays and how defences play him
Jefferson won Offensive Player of the Year after leading the NFL with 1,809 receiving yards in 2022, with Cousins slinging the ball to him. The two understand each other inherently, and it makes it very hard for opposing defences to cover Jefferson when there is that kind of a connection between him and his QB.
That is exactly what the receiver highlighted at a recent press conference, explaining why he is excited about Cousins’ comeback.
“It’s just kind of a joy to hear him take over and be a leader in the meeting room, on the field. It’s definitely a cool little situation, for sure,” Jefferson said about Cousins’ return.
“He understands how the defences play, especially covering me. And he understands the plays that are kind of my plays. He understands the timing and the windows to throw those types of plays. But he also doesn’t force those types of plays to me, and he just lets the game come to me.”
Considering how great the Vikings’ defence is, having Cousins potentially unlock Jefferson is something that the rest of the NFL should be worried about. Minnesota may well have found the perfect QB in terms of fitting their team as well as narrative to achieve the ultimate success this year.
