Former LSU star Justin Jefferson is the first rookie wide receiver to earn a Pro Bowl selection since Amari Cooper.

He's the fifth to do so joining Cooper, Odell Beckham Jr., A.J. Green and Anquan Boldin.

The Vikings rookie has had a sensational rookie campaign. Sunday he broke Randy Moss's rookie receptions record. Jefferson has 73 for 1,182 yards with two games left and is on track to surpass Moss's 1,317 yard rookie record.

Jefferson returns home to Louisiana to play the Saints Sunday.
