Justin Jefferson was among a number of current and former NFL players who were trackside for the FIrmula 1 Miami Grand Prix over the weekend. On Sunday, McLaren's Oscar Piastri won the main race and celebrated by doing the griddy.The Minnesota Vikings star wideout, who is fond of doing the touchdown celebration, had a simple response:"OSCARRRRRR!!! LETS GOOOOO"During the post-race presser, Piastri revealed that it came from a bet that he lost:“I met Justin Jefferson on Thursday who has essentially made the griddy world famous and I stupidly made a bet with him that if I won the race I’d do one for him. After qualifying yesterday ... I thought that it was definitely not going to be needed.”He also assured that, given the poor quality of the attempt, it would be both his first and last:“So that was my first attempt at a griddy live on world TV. I stayed true to the bet but that’s the one and only time you’re doing to see me doing that.”In other off-field news, Jefferson was recently announced to be hosting a youth camp at the Twin Cities Orthopedics Performance Center on May 24.Justin Jefferson likes Vikings' draft haulDuring that same weekend, Bleacher Report caught up with Justin Jefferson for a trackside interview. While it was dominated by Shedeur Sanders' "crazy" draft slide, he also had a blunt assessment of his team's decisions at the event despite admittedly not watching it:"I'm gonna say the Vikings won it. I'm not a big fan of watching the draft. I feel like it doesn't really matter. It all depends on who brings fire to their team and who makes the most of their opportunities."View on TikTokFor further context, the Vikings drafted only five players, headlined by Ohio State guard Donovan Jackson with the 24th overall pick. Most of their picks had been traded beforehand.The other players selected by the franchise were Maryland wideout Tai Felton (102nd), Georgia defensive tackle Tyrion Ingram Dawkins (139th), Penn State linebacker Kobe King (201st), and Pittsburgh tight end Gavin Bartholomew (202nd).
