The Facts: Jefferson is very excited about his team’s decision to hire Kevin O’Connell to become the next coach. Jefferson has good reason to be. Appearing on PFT Live, O’Connell acknowledged that Jefferson will be the Cooper Kupp of the new-look Minnesota offense. “Absolutely,” O’Connell said.

Diehards Line: The coach explained: “The one thing about Kupp this past season is he lined up in a lot of different spots. It was hard for defenses to really know where he was. He did a lot of different things. He had an impact in a lot of phases of our offense beyond just catching a lot of balls and scoring a lot of touchdowns. There was a huge role for Cooper because of his willingness to be completely solidified in every phase, both the run and the pass. I see that with Justin. I see an incredible, incredible skillset, but I also see a player we can move around. ... Jefferson’s going to have a huge role in our offense and continue to ascend in this league. Cannot wait to start coaching him when we get a chance here coming up this spring.” So get ready, Vikings fans and fantasy owners. Jefferson is going to move around. He’s going to run different routes. Undoubtedly, he’s going to have plays designed specifically to get the ball in his hands. Given his skills, that’s great news for him — and for the Vikings.
