"That connection is just not found anywhere. Especially the connection I have with KO , having a head coach that's that player-oriented, that I have a very close connection with, it's not something that you can find at the next team," Jefferson said.
Jefferson is comfortable with the Vikings and O'Connell. A former quarterbacks coach and offensive coordinator, O'Connell took over as Minnesota's head coach in 2022. The Vikings went 13-4 in his first season as head coach and finished 7-10 in 2023. Jefferson missed seven games due to injury during the 2023 campaign.
