EAGAN, Minn. – Justin Jefferson is back in the top 10, right where he belongs.

The Vikings phenom receiver has been ranked in this year's "NFL Top 100" list, landing at No. 9 in his fifth time being included in the countdown in five possible times.

"Jets" ascended from last year's No. 18 slot.

Jefferson bounced back from a 2023 season hampered by a hamstring injury, starting all 17 of Minnesota's regular season games last season, along with the Wild Card Playoff contest against the Rams. He finished the 2024 campaign with 103 catches for 1,533 yards (14.9 average) and 10 receiving touchdowns.

With five pro seasons under his belt, Jefferson is entering his sixth with 495 catches for 7,432 yards and 40 TDs.

He went to three straight Pro Bowls from 2020-22 and returned to the all-star game last year. Jefferson was named a First-Team All-Pro by The Associated Press following his 1,809-yard showing in 2022 and again after his 2024 performance. He also was named the 2022 NFL Offensive Player of the year after leading the NFL in receptions and receiving yards.

Jefferson holds the NFL record for most games (11) with 150-plus receiving yards in a player's first four seasons, and his 34 career games with 100 or more receiving yards rank third through a player's first six seasons. In November, he eclipsed Torry Holt for the most receiving yards in a player's first five seasons.

Launched in 2011, "NFL Top 100" is an ordering of the league's top players by their peers. Jefferson previously landed at No. 53 in 2021, No. 17 in 2022 and skyrocketed to No. 2 in 2023.

Jefferson joins Vikings teammates Aaron Jones, Sr. (98), Andrew Van Ginkel (88) and Jonathan Greenard (48) in this year's rankings.
