Justin Jefferson still doesn’t hate Kirk Cousins

Whether they’re actually realistic or not. . .and the smart money is on “not”. . .the Kirk Cousins trade rumors are floating around out there. Since there hasn’t been a lot of other news surrounding the Minnesota Vikings to this point in the offseason, I suppose that something needs to be the topic of conversation.

One guy that you can, apparently, put firmly into Cousins’ camp is the soon-to-be (we hope) Offensive Rookie of the Year, wide receiver Justin Jefferson. Jefferson was on the Jim Rome show on Wednesday, and he said he doesn’t understand why #8 gets so much heat (among other topics).

“He definitely takes a lot of heat. He takes way more heat than he really deserves.”

Not surprising to hear from Jefferson. . .after all, anyone think that he’d be on the short list for Offensive Rookie of the Year with Sean Mannion at quarterback?

I don’t.

Jefferson likes his quarterback. That’s enough of an endorsement for me.
