Justin Jefferson’s decision to line up with Kirk Cousins in 2020 was perhaps the best thing that could have happened in his life. The Minnesota Vikings wideout is a phenom on the field with more records to his name than you can think of. One of those records sticks out like a bright red traffic light in the middle of a hot scorching summer day.
Despite Jefferson getting a 4-year $140 million extension, he chooses to live a humble life and still hasn’t left the home that he initially had in the summer of 2020. However, Jefferson is beckoning “bigger and better”. His home might get a noticeable facelift, or he may buy something new entirely. Either way, we’re here to talk about Jefferson’s humble abode.
Jefferson had a breakthrough season in his rookie year. The yardage he achieved was unheard of by any rookie in the history of the NFL. Fast forward to the summer of 2021, he found himself sitting across the people at GQ Magazine. Jefferson sat on the table with a million dollars in cash and broke down how he spent his first million.

Forget the clothes, the shoes, the cars, and all the flashy bling. Buying a house and getting your parents settled in is the biggest flex ever. While he doesn’t live with his parents reportedly, that doesn’t mean they can’t call their WR son’s home their own. At this point, it should be clear that buying a house worth $405k is a big gesture of love he’s shown to his family. Also, he relies on his parents for advice on huge investments and doesn’t want to rent a place to live because he has a dog and has to go to practice every day.
Jefferson has done a great job of concealing the details of his whereabouts because the paparazzi go crazy sometimes. There isn’t even a glimpse of his house that exists on the internet. But here are a few more details that you might find useful.

Justin Jefferson’s mother helped him make a strategic choice
The next best thing in his situation is that his house is just a 4-minute drive from the training facility. It was also a well-thought-out decision considering how much it snows in Eagan, MN, which is a fair bit. But one thing we know for sure is that his mother made a huge contribution to designing the interiors of his abode. The Vikings WR loves his mom, so whatever Mama Jefferson says goes and this time, she asked for $20k to get all the interiors done in the house.
There’s a snippet in his GQ interview where he says, “This is only the start. It’s only going to get bigger and bigger, better and better.” This quote is special because whatever he said in the interview, he eventually succeeded in achieving. Fast forward to 2024, Jefferson has the most elite non-QB contract in the league. He’s been making history ever since winning the CFP championship game for LSU with Joe Burrow and Ja’Marr Chase on his side.

Now that he has access to money beyond his wildest dreams, it’s only right to assume that Jefferson’s new mansion might be coming any time soon. Maybe he’s already clocked a house in some places. Who knows?
