Justin Jefferson appeared on The Herd with Colin Cowherd on Tuesday and was asked to compare and contrast his former quarterback at LSU, Joe Burrow, with his current quarterback, Kirk Cousins.
The Minnesota Vikings wide receiver opened some eyes with his comments:
- Described Joe Burrow as having more swagger/confidence on the field than Kirk Cousins
- Said he wasn’t surprised about MN/Fields rumors because “we have to build on for after Kirk…or whatever the case may be.”
Full video:
“Kirk and Joe throw similar balls. They’re not the strongest-armed, but they’re going to get it to you exactly where you need them to throw it. But the thing about Joe that’s a little bit different…I feel like Joe has a little more swagger. He has that confidence on the field, and he’s not scared to get hit. I feel like as a quarterback, that’s a big trait to have. Especially to be as young as he is. He’s a phenomenal quarterback.”

Jefferson then told Cowherd he wasn’t particularly surprised when rumors suggested the team was interested in potentially drafting Ohio State quarterback Justin Fields.
“We have to build on for after Kirk, or whatever the case may be,” he said. “Having Justin Fields brings a little more pressure to other teams by having a dominant quarterback like he is.”
If you can remember, Jefferson made waves back in December when he appeared to lash out at Cousins over a thrown pass against the Chicago Bears:
As a rookie, Jefferson caught 88 passes for 1,400 yards and seven scores.
