“Justin Jefferson on the Vikings QB situation: ‘J.J. will definitely get his shot’ “

Hanging out with NFL superstar Justin Jefferson joining us on behalf of Visa.

We’ll get to that in just a second, but first we’re playing what’s in the tarot cards.

It’s a tarot card reading.

I lay 3 cards down face down.

You tap whichever one you want, we flip it over.

It gives us a question to ask.

So what do you got first?

Let’s go with the middle one.

Alright, it goes with the middle.

We get the wheel of Fortune, which is luck and destiny.

All right, I think destiny, we talk about your greatness in the league this year.

We’re watching Sawan’s greatness.

In the league and all I keep thinking about is like only quarterbacks get an MVP.

What’s it gonna take for a non-quarterback to win an MVP?

It hasn’t happened since 2012 with Adrian Peter.

That’s crazy, which is crazy, uh, and, uh, to, to think about the, the yards, the stats that Saquan had this year, uh, I mean he’s definitely up there.

He’s definitely in that MVP conversation, but when you have guys like Patrick Mahomes, you have guys like Lamar Jackson, guys like.

Josh Allen, uh, you know, playing a position that’s pretty much the most difficult position on the field to get paid the highest, so, uh, it’s kind of hard to win that MVP battle over those type of guys, uh, so it’s definitely difficult, you know, I was definitely in those conversations, you know, last two years ago with my office at Player of the year, so, uh, it’s definitely difficult, and, you know, of course being the, uh, uh, in my position you wanna win the MVP and you wanna be in those conversations but.

The chances of it happening is very slim.

I’m, I’m gonna cheat now because I just want to ask you a question and I want to ask you a question about chaos, which means I got to get to the tower.

That’s what I can do.

I get to cheat.

Alright, JJ yesterday said he just wants a fair shot to compete at the quarterback position.

You had Sam Darnold this year.

We’re all trying to figure out outside the building for what’s the future of the quarterback position look like for the Vikings.

What do you want the future of the quarterback position to look like?

Yeah, um, I mean, JJ.

Definitely is uh I I feel like he’s definitely going to get his shot and uh get his opportunity to to to do something and see where it goes, you know, just seeing how he was performing before he got injured, uh, it was definitely looking, you know, pretty good, and, uh, you, you have to give your first round pick an opportunity uh that’s, that’s, you know, a must and that just goes with your practice being in training camp, being in OTAs, uh, that position battle is gonna happen, you know.

Regardless, uh, but you know, having Sam, uh, being in there the whole season, you know, this past year, having 14 wins, uh, bringing us to the playoffs, you know, that just doesn’t happen, uh, overnight, you know, he just doesn’t just get a quarterback off the couch and he can just come and win 14 games for you, uh, so you know you, you definitely have to keep that in the back of your mind also, and, uh, I mean I feel like, you know, uh, we’re gonna bring Sam back you know I’m not sure though, so don’t take my words for it.

But um I mean I think you know it’ll be good to have him back and uh to to build and to you know to see where it goes but I definitely think JJ is gonna have this opportunity and uh you know I don’t know I don’t know what you’re better at answers that question perfectly or run around I’m not sure you’re joining us with Visa.

Tell everybody what you’re up to with that.

Oh yeah man, joining with Visa is definitely an honor it’s.

Blessing to have that partnership and our goal right now is just to block and protect the security and the fraud of what’s going on, you know there’s a lot of fraud and mishaps going on, so the security and the protection that they’re surrounding everybody is wonderful and I’m just glad to be a part of it.

We’re glad you’re a part of this.

Thanks for hanging out.

I appreciate you, of course.
