Receiver follows five players during the 2023 season, in which Jefferson missed two months with a hamstring injury.<\/p>\n
He was unable to complete his first game back as he suffered a tackle to the ribs that left him spitting blood.<\/p>\n
While he was on the sidelines, the series shows Jefferson offering advice and encouragement to rookie receiver Jordan Addison. Moments later Addison scores a touchdown.<\/p>\n
The 22-year-old told BBC Sport that Jefferson tells him to “be yourself, be creative”. <\/p>\n
“He’s an amazing person,” Addison added. “He’s a really humble superstar, who just loves to see everybody [on the team] succeed.\u201d<\/p>\n
McCardell said: “Justin’s a superstar that works extremely hard. When Jordan and everybody else sees that, they know they\u2019ve got to work that hard to catch up.\u201d<\/p>\n
That work ethic extends to a quest for perfection, which Jefferson shows in Receiver when agonising over a crucial fumble. He’s continued to show it in the off-season.<\/p>\n
“He sent me a video earlier this year, before we came back for mini-camp,” said McCardell. “I said ‘I see you working on your body posture and your break, you’re getting your shoulders down now’. And he said ‘yeah, you told me to’.<\/p>\n
“It’s simple stuff like that. I tell him, and he goes and works on his whole game. He wants to be as perfect as a receiver can be. It’s a great honour for me that he believes in what I teach and he’s out there working on it.”<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
