Justin Jefferson Leads the Pack as Receiver with Most Yardage Since 2000

The title of NFL receiver with most receiving yardage since 2000 has changed hands again, this time going to Justin Jefferson. The young wideout from LSU dominated the gridiron in his second season, hauling in 1,808 yards and solidifying his place among the league’s elite pass-catchers. Jefferson’s impressive performance surpassed that of Calvin Johnson, who held the record with 11,619 yards between 2007 and 2015. The Vikings’ star receiver has been on a tear since entering the league in 2020, earning him a reputation as one of the most explosive players in the game. Other notable receivers to lead the NFL in receiving yardage since 2000 include Calvin Johnson, Larry Fitzgerald, Andre Johnson, and DeAndre Hopkins. However, Jefferson’s impressive rookie season has catapulted him to the top spot, cementing his status as a rising star in the league. The Vikings’ offense, led by quarterback Kirk Cousins, appears poised for another successful season with Jefferson at its center. As he looks to build on his record-breaking performance, fans can’t help but wonder what the future holds for this talented young receiver.
