Jefferson's 1,809 receiving yards in 2022 was the sixth-most in NFL history and he joined Calvin Johnson, Cooper Kupp, Julio Jones, Jerry Rice and Antonio Brown as the only receivers to reach 1,800 receiving yards in a season. He was selected to his third Pro Bowl (2020-22) and was named NFC Offensive Player of the Week (Week 10) and NFC Offensive Player of the Month (November). Sorrentino also helped WR K.J.

Rudolph also recorded 309 receiving yards in a single game against Kent State in 2021, shattering the school's previous record of 266 set by WR Sam Hurd in 2005.
Sorrentino, who was NIU's tight ends and fullbacks coach in 2019, moved to wide receivers coach in 2020. He mentored WR Tyrice Richie to a breakout season in 2020. Richie earned All-MAC honors after leading the team with 597 yards receiving on 53 receptions with four touchdowns in just six games.
In 2019, Huskies tight ends accounted for 34% of NIU's receiving yardage. TE Daniel Crawford led the way with 37 receptions for 443 yards and two touchdowns, while TE Mitchell Brinkman tallied 445 yards on 34 catches, including three touchdowns.
Prior to his time at NIU, Sorrentino spent the 2018 season as the director of football operations at Florida Atlantic.

While with Minnesota, Sorrentino coached QB Adam Weber to a career year, aiding him in posting 2,679 passing yards, 20 touchdowns and nine interceptions.
Sorrentino spent four years in the NFL with the Jacksonville Jaguars (2013-16) where he worked with the wide receivers. Under Sorrentino's tutelage, Jaguars WR Marqise Lee posted career highs in receptions (63), receiving yards (851) and receiving touchdowns (3) in 2016. WR Allen Robinson earned his first Pro Bowl recognition in 2015 with 1,400 yards receiving and 14 touchdowns. Also in 2015, WR Allen Hurns became the youngest undrafted player since the 1970 NFL merger to post 1,000-plus receiving yards and 10-plus receiving touchdowns in a single season.
