Is Justin Jefferson Secretly Sabotaging His Own 2025 Season?
Jefferson followed up that clunker with two more two-catch efforts, giving him three such performances in his last three games after only having five over his previous 88 contests.
After finishing with receiving totals of 1,400 yards in 2020, 1,616 in 2021, 1,809 in 2022 and 1,533 in 2024, Jefferson is on pace for a career-low 1,010 yards in 2025. That would be even fewer than he put up in 2023, when he had 1,074 receiving yards while only playing in 10 games. Â
The obvious, and maybe even lazy, answer is that Jefferson’s struggles are a direct cause of the downgrade in quarterback play. Kirk Cousins threw for more than 4,200 yards in three straight seasons from 2020-22. Cousins, Nick Mullens, Joshua Dobbs and Jaren Hall combined for 4,700 yards in 2023. Sam Darnold threw for 4,319 yards a year ago.
