EAGAN, Minn. (AP) — The wide receiver position in the NFL has been home over the years to some of the most dynamic yet moody superstars in the sport.

Justin Jefferson was voted a team captain for his age-24 season by his Minnesota Vikings teammates.

For all the accomplishments on the field that earned him the league's richest non-quarterback contract, Jefferson has made his mark with the Vikings as a leader.

“He means the world to that locker room,” coach Kevin O'Connell said. “He’s a culture-changer.”
