30 NFL records that could be broken this season

29. Justin Jefferson, Literally any wide receiver record

Justin Jefferson is going to go insane this season. He’s already been insane, winning the Offensive Player of the Year after posting a league-leading 1,809 yards. There was a time when some thought Jefferson was going to break Calvin Johnson’s single-season receiving record that he broke back in 2012.

Jefferson ended the season further than we thought from the record. He was more than 150 yards from Johnson’s record. He needs to have 116 yards per game to get the record. That seems incredibly hard, but it’s absolutely possible. Jefferson has one more game than Johnson, who averaged 122.8 yards per game in his record-breaking season.

Let’s not focus just on the yards. Receptions and touchdowns can be in reach thanks to the desperation of Kirk Cousins. The Vikings quarterback is looking to get another massive contract based on playing above his head in a contract year. Jefferson is the key to making that happen.

If Jefferson avoids injury, he will be the first player to have three straight 1,500-yard seasons. The touchdowns seem like the hardest for Jefferson, who would need to more than double his career high to break the record. If anyone can do it, it’s Jefferson.
