The first-team receivers on the all-NFC North team are the Vikings’ Justin Jefferson, the Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown and the Bears’ D.J. Moore.
GREEN BAY, Wis. – Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson ran away with the receiver vote for SI.com’s All-NFC North team, while Green Bay Packers standout Jayden Reed was a second-team choice.each picked five receivers. Jefferson earned all four of the first-place votes for four points. The Lions’ Amon-Ra St. Brown, who the Packers could have drafted rather than Amari Rodgers in 2021, garnered all four of the second-place votes for eight points. The Bears’ D.J.
“He is a dog. He’s a war daddy,” coach Matt LaFleur said after a November victory over the Chargers. “He’s such a competitor.” Jefferson was fully healthy for eight of the 10 games he played, and in those eight contests he totaled 63 catches for 1,019 yards and five touchdowns. That ridiculous pace might not have been sustainable to the tune of 2,300 yards, but there is no reason to doubt that Jefferson wasn't poised to become the first 2,000-yard receiver in NFL history.
He’s an excellent route-runner and has proven to be nearly unguardable on third downs, as he possesses a savvy for eluding defenders and finding ways to get open. He has an insatiable work ethic and will likely continue to play at a high level after being rewarded with a four-year extension.
