The Minnesota Vikings wideout, 25, was one of five NFL stars featured in the series.

Davante Adams of the Las Vegas Raiders, Amon-Ra St. Brown of the Detroit Lions, along with both Deebo Samuel and George Kittle of the San Francisco 49ers also starred.
The show allows fans to see the stars’ homes, with Jefferson no exception.
However, given that he signed a four-year deal worth $140 million this summer – the most valuable deal ever handed to a non-quarterback – many viewers were surprised to see his home.
A simple townhouse featuring a double-car garage, viewers got to see his candy-filled open-plan kitchen and cozy living room.
Not the scale of home fans had expected to see given the scale of Jefferson’s income, he was recently asked to address the response to his choice of house at training camp.
“I’m one person. I ain’t got no big family,” Jefferson said.
“I don’t need to be in no $10 million mansion, that’s not something that I came from.
“I grew up with parents that were grateful for what they have and I was grateful for what I grew up with.”
And it seems that Jefferson has no immediate plans to upgrade to a “mansion” despite his relatively fresh contract.
“Maybe I’ll move on to that, maybe not. I guess we’ll find out sooner or later,” he said.
Fans loved Jefferson’s response, with one X user saying, “Humble and hungry. That’s why he’s great!”
“Have always loved him. My love just got bigger!” said a second.
“Smart man right here,” commented another.
While a fourth added, “Respect for that answer and being real.”
Jefferson will be looking to bounce back in 2024 after a somewhat disappointing 2023 season.

While he still managed to hit 1,000 receiving yards and five touchdowns, these represented career lows for the now fifth-year wideout who was hampered by injuries last year.
Come Week 1, Jefferson will take to the field with a new starting quarterback, after Kirk Cousins left for the Atlanta Falcons in free agency.
The Vikings added veteran Sam Darnold as well as JJ McCarthy with the 10th overall draft pick this offseason to battle it out for the chance to work with Jefferson.
Minnesota will start their preseason slate against the Raiders on August 10 before they head for the Cleveland Browns a week later.
