Mo s had 1,014 receiving yards after 12 games in that 1998 season."He's just hard to cover," said Vikings head coach Mike Zimmer. "He's a guy that has great acceleration off the line. He tracks the ball really, really well. He still makes a lot of rookie mistakes, but once we get that out of him, it'll help the rest of this, as Andrew Hammond Men Jersey well, because he had some things today, too."Jefferson became the only rookie in Vikings history to have five 100-yard receiving games in a season, breaking Mo s' record of four set in 1998.

I'm so grateful that we drafted him and so grateful that we have him," said Vikings quarterback . "In addition to being such a capable receiver he has a great demeanor about him during the games. He doesn't get high or low, just kind of stays the course, and he's a great teammate."It's a been a joy working with him, and we're only 12 games into his career, so there's a lot of football ahead. I think our fan base should be excited Ryan Suter Men Jersey about what he'll be able to do, hopefully for a long time."
