The folks over at Pro Football Focus put together the top 101 list of players from the 2020 season.
The highest-rated player for the Vikings was rookie wide receiver Justin Jefferson.
Jefferson came in at No. 15 on the list.
Here’s what Sam Monson wrote about Jefferson:
The Vikings struck gold with Justin Jefferson: He wasn’t just the best rookie receiver in 2020, but he also set rookie records and was one of the best first-year receivers in NFL history. Making that all the more improbable is that Jefferson was the fifth receiver off the board in the draft, and the Vikings barely played him during the first two games before seemingly stumbling upon what they had. Jefferson finished the year trailing only Davante Adams in yards per route run (2.66) and did as much damage as he did despite ranking just 15th in targets.
Jefferson was one spot ahead of Stefon Diggs, which has to make Vikings’ fans a little happy.
Other players to appear on the list for the Vikings was Adam Thielen at No. 35, Dalvin Cook at No. 40, Kirk Cousins at No. 65 and Eric Kendricks at No. 70.
