Jefferson on Wednesday was asked if he wanted to make his case for the award.
"I just let my play do the talking. I just go out there and have fun," Jefferson said. "Have fun playing the game that I love and just love playing with my brothers.
"As long as we're going out there and putting up points and just getting the 'Dub,' that's all that really matters," Jefferson added.
Despite not having an offseason program or preseason, Jefferson said he set goals of recording 60 catches, 1,000 yards and six touchdowns.
Check, check and check.
"To actually reach my goals and reach beyond my goals, I mean that's something special," Jefferson said. "I've just got to keep going and keep building on my game and get better and better each season."
Other draft classmates also have been pressed into action this season, particularly on the defensive side of the ball where roster turnover and injuries fast-tracked opportunities.
With Minnesota (6-9) already eliminated from playoff contention, Kyle Rudolph finishing the season on Injured Reserve, Dalvin Cook's excused departure after the death of his father and left tackle Riley Reiff landing on the Reserve/COVID-19 list Wednesday, opportunities could increase for younger offensive players against the 5-10 Lions.
