In a surprising revelation, Justin Jefferson has hinted at a desire to reunite with former Louisiana State University teammates Joe Burrow and Ja'Marr Chase. Despite the unlikelihood of such a scenario in the professional realm, given their current stardom, Jefferson confessed to feeling a tinge of envy towards Burrow and Chase for maintaining their on-field partnership after LSU.
The trio gained prominence during their time with the Tigers, culminating in a national championship victory in 2019. Following their collegiate success, Jefferson was drafted by the Minnesota Vikings, while Burrow and Chase embarked on their NFL careers with the Cincinnati Bengals.
Although Jefferson has established himself as a top-tier receiver in the NFL, he candidly admitted to harboring jealousy towards the enduring connection between Burrow and Chase, albeit expressing happiness for their achievements.
During an appearance on comedian Kevin Hart's 'Cold As Balls' show, Jefferson elaborated on their bond at LSU, expressing admiration for their chemistry while acknowledging his own sentiments of envy.
While Jefferson's admission may hint at a potential desire for a reunion, the practicalities of such a move remain challenging, as evidenced by reports of the Bengals' attempted trade for Jefferson earlier in the offseason.
Despite Jefferson's stellar NFL career, which has seen him break numerous records and earn multiple Pro Bowl nods, his acknowledgment of jealousy suggests a lingering sentiment towards reuniting with his former college teammates, Burrow and Chase, though the complexities of NFL team dynamics may pose significant obstacles to such a reunion.
