Coming into Sunday’s game with the Minnesota Vikings, the Kansas City Chiefs had a unique challenge: stopping Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson, who leads the NFL with 5,396 receiving yards since being drafted in the first round (22nd overall) of 2020’s NFL Draft.
What makes Jefferson special isn’t just his ability to win on any route. He can also win from any alignment. Vikings head coach Kevin O’Connell moves him all over the field, forcing defenses to have individual coverage checks for each spot where he might line up.
