Joe Burrow, Ja’Marr Chase, and Justin Jefferson formed a winning trio at LSU, securing a national championship. While Burrow and Chase continue their partnership in the NFL with the Bengals, Jefferson can’t help but feel a twinge of jealousy watching them play together.
During an appearance on Kevin Hart’s YouTube show, Jefferson admitted to admiring Burrow and Chase’s strong chemistry but also confessed to feeling envious of their continued teamwork.

Heading into his fifth season with the Minnesota Vikings, Jefferson faces uncertainty regarding the team’s quarterback situation. With Kirk Cousins gone and no guarantee of drafting an elite passer, Jefferson recognizes the challenge of finding a quarterback of Burrow’s calibre to play alongside.
Although Jefferson is in the final year of his rookie contract, it’s unlikely that the Bengals would offer him the significant contract he deserves, considering the commitments already made to Burrow and the anticipated deal for Chase.
