The fifth wideout taken in a deep 2020 draft cla s, Jefferson has been making his mark since his rookie season -- becoming one of the top players at his position in the proce s.Jefferson's 1,400 receiving yards set the record for most receiving yards by a rookie wideout in the era, becoming the first wide receiver to Joe Carter Jersey earn All-Pro honors in his rookie season since Randy Mo s in 1998. And he has found a way for his encore performance to be even better, ranking amongst the best wide receivers in his second season.History is on the horizon for Jefferson, who is just 21 yards away from pa sing . for the most receiving yards for any player after two seasons. As Jefferson closes in on NFL history, this week's "By the Numbers" takes a look how he stacks up with the best pa s catchers in the league after two seasons.Odell Beckham Jr. ( ) -- 2,755Justin Jefferson ( ) -- 2,735Randy Mo s (Vikings) -- 2,726Bill Groman (Oilers) -- 2,648Jerry Rice ( ) -- 2,497 ( ) -- 196 ( ) -- 194Christian McCaffrey (Panthers) -- 187Odell Beckham Jr. (Giants) -- 187Justin Jefferson (Vikings) -- 177Odell Beckham Jr. (Giants) -- 102.0Charley Hennigan (Oilers) -- 98.7Bill Groman (Oilers) -- 94.6Justin Jefferson (Vikings) -- 91.2Randy Mo s (Vikings) -- 85.2Jefferson is stating his case to become the best wide receiver in NFL Cleveland Indians Jersey history after his first two seasons. The Vikings wideout still has three games to surpa s Beckham for most receiving yards and Thomas for most catches through two years, needing just 21 yards to pa s Beckham and 20 catches to eclipse Thomas. Jefferson needed just 24 games to surpa s the 2,000-yard mark for his career, the second fastest to reach that milestone in league history (Odell Beckham reached in in 21 games). His 2,735 receiving yards prior to age 23 are the most in NFL history, surpa sing Randy Mo s's mark of 2,726. (Jefferson doesn't even turn 23 until June 16 Jason Kipnis Jersey of next year.) Jefferson's 12-career 100-yard games are the third most for a player in NFL history after two seasons, only trailing Groman (16) and Beckham (15).A game changer since entering the league, Jefferson is just the third player to have 150 receiving yards and two touchdowns in a game in each of his first two seasons (joining Earnest Gray and Louis Lipps). He is just the 12th player to have 1,000 receiving yards in each of his first two seasons.Jefferson had one of the best rookie seasons for a wide receiver in NFL history. His sophomore season has been even better: ( ) -- 1,625Justin Jefferson (Vikings) -- 1,335 ( ) -- 1,248 ( ) -- 1,178 ( ) -- 1,103Cooper Kupp (Rams) -- 122Tyreek Hill (Chiefs) -- 102Chris Godwin (Buccaneers) -- 98Davante Adams (Packers) -- 96 ( ) -- 92Justin Jefferson (Vikings) -- 89 ( ) -- 89Cooper Kupp (Rams) -- 14 (Buccaneers) -- 11 ( ) -- 10 (Vikings) Corey Kluber Jersey -- 10Justin Jefferson (Vikings) -- 9Tyreek Hill (Chiefs) -- 9 ( ) -- 9Kupp is set to become the first receiver to win the triple crown since (2005), overshadowing how good Jefferson has been this season. Jefferson is 15 yards away from becoming the first receiver Kenny Lofton Jersey to have 1,400 yards in his first two seasons and is just the sixth player to eclipse 80 catches in each of his first two years.Jefferson's 2,735 receiving yards are the most for any NFL player over the last two seasons and his 12 100-yard receiving games trail only Davante Adams for the most in the NFL (13). He has five 100-yard games this season, tied for the third most in the NFL behind only Kupp and Adams. Jefferson has eight games with a receiving touchdown, trailing only Kupp (nine) for the league lead. Jefferson is one of just 11 wide receivers with 10 games catching at least five pa ses this year.Jefferson is certainly in the conversation for being a top-five receiver in the game, and the Vikings are in the final playoff spot thanks to a game changer like him.
