Jefferson is only 25 years old, so he’s not too far removed from the days when he was a fan and wanting to wear the jersey of his favorite player, which may be why he can appreciate it.

Jefferson has 92 catches for 1,387 yards and 10 touchdowns this season, which has him in line for a fourth Pro Bowl nod. He has been a star since his first season in the NFL in 2020. He went nuts in 2022 when he had 128 catches for 1,809 yards, both of which led the league.

Between his great play on the field and his Griddy touchdown dance, it’s no surprise that plenty of kids want to wear his jersey. And according to NFLShop.com, Jefferson has the 9th-best selling jersey in the NFL. Many kids around the world must have gotten their wish of receiving a Jefferson jersey for the holidays.
