Carter was at the London game and was asked to list his top five receivers in Vikings history.
The Vikings have had two of the greatest wide receivers of all time suit up for their franchise. One of those two thinks the guy playing the position for Minnesota right now is even greater.
"Jake Reed, number five," Carter said. "I'ma go with Anthony Carter number four. I'm gonna go with Randy Moss number three. I'm gonna go with a dude named Cris Carter number two. And they got a dude playing for their team now that is the number one dude."That is extraordinarily high praise for Jefferson, who is off to one of the best statistical starts to a career any receiver has ever had.
After the game on Sunday, Marshall attended the Vikings' press conferences and told Jefferson where Carter had ranked him.
