Yet another record for Jefferson, who still has seven games left in year five.
On his latest reception against the Tennessee Titans on Sunday, Jefferson broke Hall of Famer Torry Holt's record for the most receiving yards ever in a player's first five NFL seasons. And he did it with seven full games yet to come in his fifth season — and after missing seven games and parts of two others last year.Jefferson also holds the record for the most receiving yards in a player's first four seasons. And in a player's first three seasons.
No receiver in NFL history has gotten off to a start to a career as prolific as Jefferson's. The three-time All-Pro and 2022 offensive player of the year is playing in his 70th career game on Sunday, and he's just a couple games away from hitting the 7,000-yard mark. He's the all-time leader in receiving yards per game.
Earlier in the game against the Titans, Jefferson passed Randy Moss for the Vikings' franchise record in yards in a player's first five seasons. Then he surpassed Holt, and he's got plenty of time to widen that gap over the remainder of this season.
