Synopsis

Read the inspiring true story of how Justin Jefferson became a star football player for the LSU Tigers and the Minnesota Vikings.

Justin Jefferson was born into a football family. His two older brothers both played football in college, and Justin seemed destined to follow them. As a child, Justin showed off his skills, placing third in a national football competition. He went on to star at wide receiver for his high school team in Destrehan, Louisiana.

However, Justin didn't catch the attention of many college football teams. No one knew how great he could be. With the support of his family, Justin chose to follow his brothers to Louisiana State University (LSU). After a year on the bench, Justin began a record-setting career that included a national championship. Despite his college success, he was only the fifth wide receiver chosen in the 2020 NFL Draft. He joined the Minnesota Vikings, determined to become one of the best players in the league.

Written by Chad Israelson, with beautiful illustrations by Phil Juliano, this picture book for children tells the story of Justin Jefferson's surprising rise to stardom. Many people doubted him along the way, but Justin proved anything is possible with a family's love and devotion. This inspiring Justin Jefferson book is perfect for children.
