Eagles Fans, Who Spent the Whole 2020 Watching Justin Jefferson Highlights, Will Now Watch Him Don the Vikings Uniform at the Lincoln Financial Field

The Eagles picked wide receiver Jalen Reagor with the 21st overall choice in the 2020 NFL Draft, while the Vikings selected wide receiver Justin Jefferson with the 22nd pick. The Eagles made a serious error there since Jefferson is a much superior player.

Jefferson appreciates that the Eagles made that error. It’s difficult to envision Eagles supporters appreciating all of Jefferson’s highlights from the previous season. There were too many of them to totally dodge them, yet he must skip his next expedition.

The Eagles squad, who sadly passed on Jefferson in the 2020 NFL Draft for Jalen Reagor, who was dealt to the Vikings this summer for a late-round pick, will be Jefferson’s first opponent.

Justin Jefferson to face Philadelphia Eagles for the first time

Two years ago, Minnesota selected Jefferson with the very next choice, and since then, he has led the NFL in receiving yards with 3,200. The Vikings wide receiver in his third season is coming off a career-high 184 receiving yards. Now, Jefferson and the Vikings, who last month acquired Reagor in a trade, are getting ready for Monday night’s game against the Eagles.

“Every mock draft had me going to Philly, so when Philly was on the board, getting the phone call, and it being Minnesota, it was definitely a shock. But I’m definitely happy — way happier — to be here than there,” Jefferson said.

“The Linc” may go into a frenzy if Jefferson turns in another outstanding effort, especially if it contributes to the Vikings’ victory. If Reagor serves as the initiative’s driving force, forget it. Even though A.J. Brown ended up being the Eagles’ top wide receiver, the Jefferson narrative still exists for Philadelphia.
