His smile is contagious. One of the most likeable players in the league
Yeah until you guys start giving him the obj treatment
@@NoobMaster-or5ub yeah fax. I hope he doesn’t end up like OBJ
@@NoobMaster-or5ub fax every great player has hella haters nowadays bruh
@Zaayan Hasan fax bro i had the amazing chance to meet him twice and he’s different i wish him the best here in minnesota and on the vikings
He's definitely got a good head on his shoulder.
You can’t hate him, he is so humble
Expect flightreacts
I bet a Packers fan is watching this thinking, "God I want to hate him but he's too nice of a guy."
@@quietcorner293 nah packers fans aren't that reasonable
@@jpark2948 nah the ones who aren’t reasonable at all are raiders fans 😂
Although humble, he thinks 10k is his family not wanting alot, to the average person, that is ridiculous
He spends 30% of the video thanking his family. What a guy.
The fact that he saved half, and he bought a house that was only 400K, when he could have tried to get a million dollar condo shows how smart he is. Intelligent young man.
But he spent 150k on a car 😂😂😂
@@Rich-zj7bi That’s like someone who makes $100k buying a $15k car. That’s perfectly reasonable
He still spent a lot of money. The house isn't too much, but the other stuff isn't needed. Maybe getting a car that is at least AWD first and waiting for the other stuff like jewelry. He's gonna get millions now. But he also probably had at least another 5 million saved somewhere else.
@@Witches_Hallow why would he need 5 mil saved lol for what. You cant take your money with you when you die lol
@@Witches_Hallow bro shut up he didn’t even spend a lot
His mom and dad did him right. Such a smart young man.
U cringe “smart young man” bruh
@@saylife555 family teaches finance they should be proud and think this kid could make something of himself even without football.
@@briank5877 Absolutely.
@@saylife555 L comment
@@briank5877 I dunno man, 50 k on jewelry sounds pretty insane. Maybe that's just me
I love how he talks about his family and hometown. You can see how strong his family is and how well he turned out because of it. This young man has his head on straight and is a beast on the field
And his family is not leeching off him at all!
@@tdaveniii facts seems like they are doing the opposite and telling him to make the right moves
@@tdaveniii that was the best part. Him talking about how his family hasn’t asked for much of anything, he’s truly blessed
I just seen the first couple of minutes dudes smart and humble definitely never gonna go broke he’s not egotistical dum dum
I love the fact that his family didn't ask him for anything & that he is saving his money. Good job.
This man's parents need a medal, if I got that money at his age I would not have handled it anywhere near as well as he did! When he gets older I can see him becoming a good influence for younger teammates too.
As a Packers fan it sucks that we have to deal with this guy twice a year. Dudes a different breed!
Vikings fan here it sucked going against Adams twice a year so now we have a nice WR fight
GB is lucky they have Jaire tho.
@@cum1416 better than the bears lol
Y'all have davante adams
That's what you get for having Aaron Rodgers.
Justin Jefferson is a very likable person 💯
U prlly wish u had em
I think every team wished they had him
Fax
I don’t have any ill will towards Diggs but I’m glad we ended up with Jefferson. Even tho he’s a millionaire he’s a relatable dude for a lot of people
Agreed. Seems like a nice young man. Glad to see someone not blowing their money.
Good vid, a young man who was taught properly and is living the dream wisely. A stunning player to watch in games- he is the show. Wishing him many years of health and happiness.
You can tell this man was raised right. Great parents and siblings
We have all been waiting for JJ to get on this series
Nah I haven’t. We never know who’s next and honestly didn’t think it would be him
No we all haven’t respectfully 😂
Lol I have bro
Yup
We need Dk metcalf plz
JJ is a beast and so humble!
lol
he alr thinking he a top 5 wr but hes not ready yet
@@ethannou8244 how he not top 5 i got him at number 5. Theres d hop davante stephon diggs tyreek hill and justin jefferson. I know theres odell im going off of last season
@@ethanstake6125 he has played one season, he needs another good season to solidify top 5 status
@@gavins.5409 have you seen any good NFL player, they all think they top 5 no matter what position they at, even players who are below average or are in the more middle tier of their position be thinking they top 10 or even top 5, its called confidence, and once you have a historical rookie season, I'm pretty sure it's justifiable if you think of yourself as a top 5 reciever. Though I do agree with you, he does need another good season or two before he gets in the top 5.
The most respectful and humble nfl player
This young man has a good head on his shoulders. It is refreshing to hear that he has only made modest purchases after becoming a multimillionaire at such a young age.
When the stupidest purchase you made was 50k on jewelry and that was your biggest splurge. I see that as pretty good for a multi millionaire. (I mean yeah he has an expensive car, but it's not like I splurged on a lambo levels)
These series are honestly the best GQ has ever done
Yea this and the essentials
Dude is a beast. I’m happy to hear how supportive his family is of him and how they have him advice like buying instead of renting. Dude is doing great with his money and it’s dope to see young guys with such an amazing mentality.
Buying jewellery and cars which lose 30% of their value the second you drive them are not good investments at all
@@macktheripper7454 so buy a bike?
@@macktheripper7454 not everything is about the value, you can enjoy things and have fun in your life. I’m sure with his 7 million signing bonus and millions more in endorsements he’s doing just fine
@@macktheripper7454 thats not a problem if he can cover that 30%.
Surprisingly he only bought 1 car most of the dudes buying cars like they need 5 cars to go get groceries
Seems like a legit humble and grateful dude. We love these guys in the midwest. Always happy to import more humble NFL players to the midwest.
I love that he let his mom decorate his house 😂 so proud to have this man on our team! 💜💛
Hope he has a great career, dude is so talented!
I'm a die hard saints fan. It kinda got me mad when he went to the vikings but, i like him too much to care lol.
Me with Justin fields going to the bears as a Vikings fan
Same lol. It hurts a little. What hurts more is PAYTON TURNER
In minnesota, it’s me and Rashod Bateman.
He’s the only thing the Vikings and saints fans can like about each other
He might come to the saints after a couple of contracts or some. I mean, why not
"There definitely was doubt my freshman year...am I going to be a high caliber receiver?" *gets drafted in the first round and breaks rookie receiving yards record* ....dude is very humble and brings such good energy!
This the first I've heard of ya brother and I gotta say you are a rarity man ya got great priorities/ vision ya got a strong mind with a strong team/family behind ya with that bro ya definitely going far much respect stay humble
Not only is this man a talented football player but very responsible. I could not personally save that kind of money like he has. The man has a bright future both on and off the field and the sky is the limit for him
You must have not been paying attention in economics when they taught you how to save money
@Ilya Gustafson sounds like a personal problem
@Ilya Gustafson I've never seen any schools that don't provide encomics class dumbass. You probably dumb asf and couldn't take the credit
@@carterquinn7450 my high school didn't and im on a full ride scholarship with A's and B's so you can kindly shut up, Carter lol.
@@twaynewade2544 make me dumbass tf kinda schools you bums going to that don't provide economics 🤣🤣
Was so lucky I got to see him play against Houston, one of the nicest people ever.
He destroyed us that game lol, so did Thielen. Geaux tigers and sadly go texans
@@HOU1996 give credit to daddy Kirk
This is the first one of these videos I actually enjoyed. Unbelievably humble kid
Love this guy! Easy going. Like the Jefferson family too. Miss seeing him at LSU, but so glad he's doing very well with the Vikings. Very down to Earth guy. He's worked VERY HARD. He's a lethal WR. Geaux Jettas2!
I love these series
I still remember he was supposed to have a interview on ig with some nfl host lady and they had to cancel bcs he was streaming Fortnite 😂
LMAOOOO
😂😂
You can’t hate him, he is so humble and talented mash’allah
@Dwayne Sampson cool dude
@Dwayne Sampson idk why u upset maybe u jealous but u down horrendous buddy😭😭
@Dwayne Sampson first of all I said jealous of Justin Jefferson because if u hate him why are you looking at this video u don’t make sense and second of all u will see after death
@Dwayne Sampson may Allah guide you because u looost buddy
Oh just thank God he is smart about his wealth and plays the long game. Just one more reason to love the guy.
I really love this guy outside of football never really looked into him shout out to his parents for doing such a great job.
I hope he stays injury-free, he's so talented and so much fun to watch play
God bless you JJ , so blessed 🙏🏼.
Hope you have a good season next year bro
His people's raised him right...def humble, extremely talented and continues to perfect his craft! Looking forward to Year II as well as seeing what his LSU Bro does in his rookie season upcoming.
Easily my favorite series by GQ Sports! Amazing and informative content!
I like how humble he is
This is a dude I would love to chill with. Super humble and seems to help others out. Not alot of these kind of people out there anymore.
Im very happy to see a young man spend his money the way he is Justin definitely did better than what i would have at his age big ups to you young man
That smile is just so precious
As an LSU student during our Natty run, I'll always be a fan of this man. I'm happy his first year was nice.
Definitely a humble guy! He’s going far!
Dude is super mellow and well-spoken. You have a new fan, sir.
Very impressed by him. Seems like a great kid, grown into a mature man. And obviously an insane talent
I hope JJ stays with the vikings for a while, super exciting player to watch and seems like a great dude.
Dude is way more humble than i would have thought. Respect
ive always liked justin jefferson but after this video i like him even more, dudes so humble and genuinely seems like he has a good heart, im glad we get to live to see his career
Ik this is gonna be a banger
These are always a hit
Congratulations your dedication is paying off.
I’m here after his legendary catch in the Vikings win against the Bills 2022. We’ll see you in Canton JJ!
Love his attitude and outlook on life. You could mistake him for an introvert. Respect.
That was awesome!!! I have always been a big fan of the way JJ played at LSU but now i'm a bigger fan of him as a person. Doing everything the right way... Obviously he has a great family, Geaux Tigers!!!
I love watching this guy. I can’t wait to watch the rest of his career
What a likeable person , Keep grinding bro you a beast 🙏🏼
He’s humble and he used his money well 🐐
Chill bro he’s good but not the goat
Brady 🐐
@@shrezzy0940 idiot
@@shrezzy0940 new people for the win out with the old
I think spending thousands of dollars on jewelry, clothes, and shoes isn’t spending money well but when your a millionaire it don’t matter
@@rickroll5948 he probably invested some money before he spent it lol
imagine your first job being a professional athlete
This is so inspiring, chase y’all dreams💪🏽❤️.
Ya got to make more of these
Sounds like a humble, down to Earth dude. Super talented. I'm waiting for a player to get on here and talk about his investments.
Real humble my favorite wide receiver reason why I am Vikings I am also a lions fan
How dufuq
You must love pain to be a fan of those two franchises. I can only handle the pain Vikings provide.
No one gives af

this series only keeps getting better
Him and diggs are so well spoken and good at explaining. Truly smart people
When he got drafted I knew he was gonna be good and I’m glad to see him doing well
Excited to see JJ play thru his career 🔥
@Colten _ he’s 21 bro
@Colten _ Jj stands for Justin Jefferson.
Smart, humble, and extremely talented. Jets should speak at the rookie symposium. How can you not love this guy? Geaux Tigers.
He’s so humble 🤟🏼
Props to the parents to raising him right. Seems very humble and knows the rights and wrongs with money.
What an awesome guy. Wish him all the best.
Big shout out to this man! Nola area represent
Awesome bro! Keep that head on your shoulders and have a great life
As a Packers fan, I'll say this kid will be good on and off the field
One of my favorite players in the league I'm so glad the Vikings got him
So humble! I love it !!! Kudos to his parents! Wonderful job!!!! Congratulations!!!
Salute bro for making his dream come true and keeping the family name alive 💯
Best content on CZcams no 🧢
Interior Design...I like that!
Can’t hate the guy, love seeing athletes this humble
He just gained a fan! Very humble 🙏🏻
it’s now a flex to save money not spend it
Bigger flex to invest it on assets
Man I’d love to see more videos with Justin Jefferson.
He seems so humble and SO CUTE!! Keep it up and manage your money well.
this is that guy man, so humble
Louisiana kids, great athletes🔥🔥
These are the types of guys that end up being wealthy for the rest of their lives, and if they have kids, those children are likely to be well to do indefinitely as well. I wish him all the best and I hope he has a wonderful, long term, career.
Unfortunately, like 70% of NFL players end up going broke.
@@calebwinfield1403 Something like 75% of both NBA and NFL players go broke within 5-15yrs after the game. They just fail to stash their money away correctly and/or still live life to high on the hog with nothing else to do.
@Dwayne Sampson exactly. Just throw 60% of your check into investments and you will be set for the rest of your life.
But no gotta spend millions on houses and jewelry and cars and bottles. So dumb
Yo da next time sumbody show dis video
The next time you go on a walk on a time you go out for your
such a humble and wholesome man
As a Viking fan who already loved this kid for his talent and skill, it’s nice to see he’s a regular guy too
This young man is as likeable as Adam Thielen. AT has been my favorite Viking because of his quiet family orientated personality. AT just got a brother.
I really hope JJ stays with the Vikings for a long time. Dude is a great player but an even better human being.
Way 2 Go JJ, blessings too you, Vacherie, Louisiana ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️
This guy is my Top 3 fav receivers in the NFL. Man is gonna be a baller for years to come
Even though I like seeing the vikings lose as a saints fan, I want this man to go far in his career
Nice car! Exactly what I like to imagine
Been waiting for this
Seems like a really good person very respectful and greatful for everything he has
This man was ROTY for me! he's gunna be the future
I’m a chiefs fan but after that interview I think I have no choice but to draft him on my fantasy team next year
Good job jj! We're happy for u and stay healthy . Good luck! Go vikings
Gq got the best videos every ever
