Carter, who appeared on the NFL Network with ESPN\u2019s Tom Pelissero and Ian Rapoport<\/a> on July 16, also talked about how he and his old friends were able to meet up after a long time.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou got to give Randy credit for it. Randy got us all together,\u201d said Carter. \u201cHim and Jake (Reed) both battling the last couple of years, and both of them, you know, very private people.\u201d<\/p>\n

The \u201cThree Deep\u201d wide receiver trio of Randy Moss, Cris Carter, and Jake Reed, who played for the Minnesota Vikings from 1998 to 2001, came together for the first time in a while to take part in Moss\u2019 fishing show, Chasing 10 with Randy Moss.<\/p>\n

While it\u2019s an emotional time for the Vikings fans, there came another piece of news to celebrate.<\/p>\n

Randy Moss\u2019 legacy looms as Justin Jefferson builds his own<\/p>\n

Justin Jefferson, who is currently tied for second with Moss for consecutive 1,000-yard campaigns, only behind Cris Carter, who has eight, has been named as a top 3 wide receiver in the league.<\/p>\n

While the Vikings and Jefferson didn\u2019t have a great last season, he was still ranked as one of the best wide receivers in the league in ESPN\u2019s latest ranking. Jeremy Fowler of ESPN<\/a>, on July 15, released the results of a survey conducted among over 70 NFL executives, scouts, and coaches to rank the best players in each position.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Jefferson, who has previously been ranked as the best wide receiver in ESPN\u2019s previous surveys, has been ranked as the second-best wide receiver. Despite a poor season, Jefferson was still able to collect No.1 or No.2 votes on around 70% of the ballots. One AFC executive gave his reasoning for ranking Jefferson very high.<\/p>\n

\u201cI go by who I\u2019d want on my team in a game or a season, and I still think he\u2019s super talented,\u201d said the executive. \u201cHe\u2019s a proven commodity that can do everything you need and adapt to any defensive look.\u201d<\/p>\n

Jefferson was given a pass from his worst season, where he recorded 1,048 yards, due to poor quarterback play and due to him being double-teamed more than any other receiver in the league, with him having a double-team percentage of 53.4. However, with Kyler Murray joining the team, we could see Jefferson recording another season with over 1,500 yards.<\/p>\n
