Justin Jefferson is the NFL's youngest to 8,000 career receiving yards.

The star Vikings receiver hit the milestone in Thursday night's game at the Los Angeles Chargers.

He entered the Week 8 matchup needing 40 yards.

His fifth catch of the night pushed him past Pro Football Hall of Famer Randy Moss. After tying Moss on a 3-yard gain on a screen, he surpassed the Vikings Ring of Honor receiver with a 15-yard reception in the second quarter.

Moss was 26 years and 297 days old when his yardage total crossed 8,000. Jefferson is 26 years and 129 days old.

Jefferson missed tying Pro Football Hall of Famer Lance Alworth for the fewest pro games (83) to record 8,000 receiving yards by one contest. Alworth and the Chargers began in the AFL before moving to the NFL in 1970.
