His problem? Like far too many of today’s players, he’s delusional and greedy. He overvalues himself.

Well that's the Viking problem now.

Rookie talk/motivation.....now he's got to back it up. No problem with what he said......he is no different than the talk about "Hot Boyz" or JJ and the "Secret Sauce". Time to back it up. Hope its not another Randy Moss deal on Thanksgiving, his rookie year.

What time was that? The 1940’s when everyone had a common enemy? Lol

Players have been using perceived slights and insults for motivation forever

If Ceedee has said this, we’d be congratulating ourselves over how much of a competitor our guy is.

I guess he needs to start crying like Tom Brady does for being drafted in the 6th round.

Justin Jefferson's revenge plan: 'Every single (team) that picked a receiver instead of me are going to pay'

While the 2020 NFL Draft class was stacked with wideouts, there was one that was seemingly making a late push up draft boards. Former LSU wideout Justin Jefferson was a large part of the Tigers' undefeated 2019 campaign, and a longtime NFL offensive coordinator/receivers coach even told Bucky Brooks of NFL.com that Jefferson was one of the best receivers he's ever studied. Despite the high praise, Jefferson fell all the way to the Minnesota Vikings at No. 22 overall.

While he was still a first-round pick, Jefferson wasn't too excited that a total of four wide receivers were taken before him. During a Thursday appearance on The Zach Gelb Show on CBS Sports Radio, Jefferson said that he was definitely shocked multiple wideouts were taken over him last week.

"I mean, yes," Jefferson said. "I felt like I was the best receiver in this draft class, and being the fifth receiver off the board, it kind of was a shocker. But also having that on my shoulder going into this next season with Minnesota, I'm definitely excited to show the world what I have."

While Jefferson is confident he can quickly prove that he's a legitimate NFL receiver, he wants more than that. He wants the Las Vegas Raiders, the Denver Broncos, the Dallas Cowboys and the Philadelphia Eagles to regret passing up on him in the first round.

"Every single person that picked a receiver instead of me are going to pay," Jefferson said. "I'm going to show them that I am the better receiver than the pick that they had. . . . I'm definitely excited to go into Minnesota and [compete] for [a] Super Bowl."

Hope our Cowboys new Defense shuts him down when we play the Vikings this 2020 season!

The Vikings drafted a WR that the Cowboys passed on in the 1st round.

Hopefully that does not turn out like last time...

charron · May 1, 2020

Good for him

Aven8 · May 1, 2020

Well it’s a good thing we didn’t draft A.J. Terrell....

Jumbo075 · May 1, 2020

I hope Bradley Anae "proves" the Commanders wrong by passing on him for Chase Young. If that happens, Dallas will be berry berry happy.

MojaveJT · May 1, 2020

If anything, Lamb should be out to prove he’s the best on the teams that passed on him. Jefferson wasnt even top 3 ranked.

ESisback · May 1, 2020

What the ......... ? Can you imagine the outcry if the Cowboys had picked Jefferson instead of Lamb?

It’s like I always say, no matter what choice we make, there will ALWAYS be a huge outcry of disapproval.

ESisback · May 1, 2020

Now Skippy’s wringing his hands over giving Lamb “88”! Manufactured drama = $$$

CouchCoach · May 1, 2020

He wasn't even the best WR on the Tigers, that was Ja'Marr Chase, who's presence helped Jefferson, along with a QB with the season of all time, a hell of a RB and the top ranked OL in the Big 5.

He is a good WR but it's ridiculous to run his mouth when he doesn't control getting the ball. And he ain't Randy Moss, he only singled out one team for payback, the other 19 teams didn't matter.

No team was going to take Jefferson over Lamb. Anyone that watched them saw one WR that was part of his team's offense and the other was his team's offense. All you had to do was look at that OU O when Lamb wasn't on the field.

jazzcat22 · May 1, 2020

I guess Jefferson does not know who his QB is. :lmao:

Randy Moss did a pretty good job of it when it came to getting revenge on the Cowboys.

Yes...that was because Moss was the best WR in the draft and by career end Decade.

Holla back Jefferson in 12 years!!

Jake0 · May 1, 2020

He got Cousins passing him the ball. I think we're good boys.

Lutonio · May 1, 2020

*In my 30 for 30 voice*

"But what Jefferson had forgotten during the interview, was that Kirk Cousins would be throwing the ball to him. As it would turn out, he did NOT, in fact, like that."
