Minnesota Vikings Star Believes He Should Be In MVP Discussion

The Minnesota Vikings have been one of the NFL's best and most consistent teams all season long in 2022, and while so many players have contributed to their success, one player has been their most crucial, that being Justin Jefferson, who needs just 105 yards per game over their last two to pass Calvin Johnson as the NFL's all-time single season receiving yards leader.

For some reason, when the MVP discussion is brought up, even by major news sources such as Fox Sports and ESPN, he is nowhere to be seen, with the conversation usually revolving around Quarterbacks like Josh Allen, Patrick Mahomes, Joe Burrow and Jalen Hurts.

#Vikings WR Justin Jefferson asked on ESPN about the possibility of a receiver winning MVP: "Having the type of season I'm having, I feel like that's a conversation that needs to be had for me to be MVP."

When asked if he should be in the conversation, Jefferson said he believes he should certainly be a part of the conversation, and given his impact on winning for the Vikings, he certainly should be at least in the discussion, and if he can hit 2,000 yards (he is just 244 yards away) on the season, his case becomes even tougher to ignore.
