Minnesota Vikings star wide receiver Justin Jefferson fueled trade speculation with some interesting comments.

Justin Jefferson "definitely" thinks the Vikings would've done better if Sam Darnold stayed in Minnesota and wonders if they would be playing in the Super Bowl.

Rice, long considered not only the greatest receiver ever but the greatest player ever, holds NFL records for receptions (1,549), receiving yards (22,895), and receiving touchdowns (197). In order to surpass Rice's career marks, Jefferson would need to average 69 catches, 1,029 yards, and 11 touchdowns over the next 14 seasons.

What Darnold has shown is a thicker skin, a level of resilience that has him authoring one of the unlikeliest, and most inspirational, comeback stories in NFL lore.
