And ofc Minnesota fans view Jefferson as a true #1. He was part of the best college offense of all time, was a highly touted 1st round pick (who should have went even higher had he not been wrongly labeled as just a slot guy), and he put up 1400 yards as a rookie and broke franchise records held by Randy Moss.
Their #1 WR was hurt off and on all season and drew a ton of coverage. I'm not sure Jefferson puts those numbers up again with a healthy Adam Thielen and teams rolling more coverage his way.
