"They get their playmakers the ball. They have some tremendous plays, Cooper Kupp wide open all the time. So, I'm excited for it. This is my first head coach that's going to be on the offensive side instead of the defensive side, so I'm happy."

The defensive-minded Zimmer was fired and is set to be replaced by O'Connell following the Super Bowl. In his second season as the Rams offensive coordinator, O'Connell has overseen a unit that boasts ﻿Cooper Kupp﻿ winning the receiving triple crown and ﻿Odell Beckham﻿ having reignited his career in the postseason.

Jefferson, now a two-time Pro Bowler, fell just 16 yards shy of Randy Moss' Vikings single-season record as he finished 2021 with 1,616 to Moss' 2003 tally of 1,632. Overall improvement and taking down Moss' record are for the taking as Jefferson looks to his third season and first under O'Connell.
