Add another honor to Justin Jefferson's trophy case.
The Vikings wide receiver has been named to the 2025 Players’ All-Pro Team, announced Wednesday by the NFL Players Association. He joined Cincinnati's Ja'Marr Chase, whom he teamed with at LSU, as the two wideouts on the roster. Jefferson also was named last year to the inaugural team.
This particular all-star lineup is solely voted on by players, and those selected must meet the defined criteria.
Jefferson continued to impress throughout his fifth NFL season en route to his fourth Pro Bowl nod.
In addition to tying Lance Alworth (62 games) as the fastest player to reach 6,000 receiving yards in NFL history, he passed Alworth (64) as the fastest player in league history to reach 30 career games with 100 receiving yards. Jefferson accomplished the feat in Week 2, when he recorded four catches for 133 yards and a touchdown against the 49ers.
Jefferson totaled 115 receiving yards on eight catches against the Rams in Week 8, notching his 31st game with 100-plus yards through the air and passing Hall of Famer Randy Moss for the most such games in a player's first five seasons in NFL history.
Against the Seahawks in Week 16, Jefferson racked up 10 catches for 144 yards and two touchdowns, passing Anthony Carter (478) for the fifth-most receptions in franchise history with 484.
Jefferson wrapped up the regular season with 103 catches for 1,533 yards (14.9 average) and 10 touchdowns. He finished sixth in receptions, second in receiving yards and tied for sixth in TD catches this season.
The 2020 first-round pick is the first player with more than 7,000 receiving yards in just five seasons. He has 495 career catches for 7,432 yards and 40 touchdowns.
