The Netflix documentary 'Receiver' was released on Wednesday and it unveiled the Minnesota Vikings superstar receiver Justin Jefferson to the world.
Yes, everyone knows that Jefferson is the best wide receiver in the National Football League, but not everyone knows how incredibly cool the man called Jets is.
When the Vikings selected Jefferson with the 22nd overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft, there was a lot of discussion surrounding it, as the Philadelphia Eagles surprisingly selected Jalen Reagor over him. Once that discussion died down, the conversation shifted to whether or not Jefferson could be more than a slot receiver at the next level.
Jefferson took the NFL by storm with a 1,400-yard rookie season and the week three game against the Tennessee Titans was the breakout performance where he hit the Griddy for his first touchdown reception.

His career took off like a rocket from there, gaining at least 1,000 yards receiving in each of his first four seasons, including becoming the third receiver in NFL history to gain 1,000 receiving yards while playing in 10 or fewer games during a season.
The debut of 'Receiver' showed a side of Jefferson that displayed the calm, and confident person that he is and it was endearing. Don't mistake his confidence for arrogance, as Jefferson is far from the latter. Fans felt the same, as they expressed how they feel about Jefferson and the reaction was glowing.
I made my way through all of Justin Jefferson's part of Receiver on Netflix, and my main takeaway is this dude is perfect for the team and the community.

Every football fan in the world should root for him in everything he does, regardless of fandom.
If you could build a superstar franchise player in a lab, it would be Justin Jefferson. He gets it.
