Trevor Squire: Justin Jefferson’s QB Rankings Has Fans Trolling Vikings’ Kirk Cousins
The piece goes on to mention how JJ has defended Cousins in the past, but that was then and this is now.
Should he have hyped up Cousins or is this fair?
Trevor Squire: Justin Jefferson’s QB Rankings Has Fans Trolling Vikings’ Kirk Cousins
Minnesota Vikings wide receiver Justin Jefferson‘s top-five quarterbacks rankings have gone viral not for who is on the list but who was left off it.
On a trip to Brazil during the NFL’s summer break before training camp, Jefferson was asked by a local reporter to rank the top five quarterbacks in the NFL. He ranked them as follows: 1. Patrick Mahomes, No. 2 Aaron Rodgers, No. 3 Joe Burrow, No. 4 Jalen Hurts and No. 5 Josh Allen.
Jefferson gave Cousins an honorable mention, slipping Cousins’ “Kirko” nickname after his top five, but that didn’t keep fans from going into a frenzy as it was overlooked and unsubtitled in the video.
“If Kirk hears this, JJ will never get a pass,” one fan replied with a laugh.
Another fan replied: “Didn’t even mention Cousins’ name, huh?”
...
Another fan acknowledged Jefferson’s omission of Cousins compared to Miami Dolphins star Tyreek Hill hyping up Tua Tagovailoa as an MVP despite Tagovailoa not being a consensus top-five quarterback either.
Had Jefferson put Cousins in his top five, the video may have caused even more fanfare as the national consensus is Cousins is a fringe top-10 quarterback in the league. Given Cousins’ polarizing image to the national NFL audience, it was a “damned if you do, damned if you don’t” situation for Jefferson.
