Empowering Communities, Celebrating Minnesota Locally

Vikings WR Justin Jefferson stays humble…

MN Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson has become one of the most exciting players in the NFL.

But he hasn’t let that go to his head. It sounds like his family raised him right.

He talked about staying grounded in a recent interview. He had this to say: “I just always grew up with my parents telling me to be humble and to be grateful for anything I’ve been given, and I’ve been given an opportunity to play football at the highest level. I’m just making money to help my family and generations down the line. So, every single time I step foot on a field, I just like to have fun.”.

And like the rest of us, he’s not sure who the Vikings QB will be next year. “I’m not sure who the quarterback’s going to be. And just like I said last year, it truly doesn’t matter to me personally. It doesn’t matter who’s going to throw me the ball—I’m going to make the most of my opportunities,” Jefferson said.
