Tyreek Hill Unveils Funny Revelation about His Son’s Justin Jefferson Fandom
Hill told reporters, “My sons, they be in my head. They be like, ‘dad, Justin Jefferson, dawg’. My kids are like Justin Jefferson fanatics. They really enjoy Justin Jefferson a lot. I was talking to my son on Facetime last night, and his mom told me, she was like, ‘Yeah, someone else’s kid came up to your son the other day and was like, ‘hey, you Tyreek Hill’s son,’ and he was like, ‘nah, Justin Jefferson my dad.’”
“So I got him on Facetime and I’m like, ‘so ahh, Justin Jefferson is your dad?’ He was like, ‘no dad’. And I was like, ‘then Justin Jefferson can take your ass to Disney World then.’”
Here’s video of the exchange:
The general takeaway might’ve been how candid and supportive Hill seemed about his little guy’s bombshell.
Ironic — Because Hill Grew Up as a Vikings Fan
Hill has never been shy about pounding the table for Vikings fandom. The man grew up a fan of Minnesota, right in the age range when Adrian Peterson captivated audiences.
In fact, Hill’s Vikings roots are so pronounced that he often finds his way into Minnesota’s trade rumor mill, once per offseason, as of late, mainly because he’s never bashful about endorsing the purple team as his childhood favorite.
“I think that’s the first step toward him building true relationships and a real connection with a lot of the guys in there. Everyone knows what he can do on the field. Everyone respects what he can do on the field, but I think he’s still trying to figure things out for himself as well, the man he wants to be — and he’s not too young. Everybody makes mistakes, it’s just, some people, they’re in the spotlight and their deals get pushed out more than some others. So you’ve just got to cut him some grace. That’s our teammate.”
