2025 All-NFC North Preseason Team: Vikings dominate the wide receivers

In part three of our 2025 All-NFC North Preseason Team series, we're looking at wide receivers.

Justin Jefferson and Amon-Ra St. Brown were the consensus 1-2 selections by our panel of NFC North On SI contributors, followed by mixed opinions on DJ Moore, Jordan Addison, Jayden Reed, Jameson Williams and Rome Odunze. Here's how the vote, conducted by four writers, turned out.

1. Justin Jefferson, Minnesota Vikings

There's really nothing to say that hasn't already been well established. He's arguably the best receiver in football and it hasn't mattered who's throwing the football. He's been amazing with Kirk Cousins, Josh Dobbs, Nick Mullens and Sam Darnold — and now the football is firmly in the hands of 22-year-old J.J. McCarthy. So long as McCarthy puts the ball in Jefferson's atmosphere, he's going to come down with about 100 catches, rack up 1,500 yards, and catch about 10 touchdowns. 

What makes Jefferson scarier than ever is that he's entering 2025 with a healthy T.J. Hockenson at tight end, while Rondale Moore will help create chaos in the slot. If Jalen Nailor takes another step and rookie Tai Felton (third-round pick) can make an impact, it's going to be a lot harder for teams to pay attention to Jefferson.
