Justin Jefferson seemingly strengthens his case for a bust in Canton every game day.

For now, Jefferson's No. 18 Vikings jersey from last week's game will suffice.

The phenom receiver fulfilled a request from the Pro Football Hall of Fame to have his jersey displayed in the "Mementoes of the Modern Era" display.

The recognition is in honor of Jefferson leapfrogging Hall of Famer and Vikings Ring of Honor member Randy Moss on the way to breaking Torry Holt's record for receiving yards in a player's first five seasons.

Jefferson entered the game needing 55 to break the mark of 6,784 set by Holt from 1999-2003. Holt eclipsed Moss one season after the former Viking set the mark with 6,743 from 1998-2002.

Jefferson enters Minnesota's Week 12 game at Chicago with 6,811.
