The above reaction shows how much the honor also means to Jefferson as a person. When you hear him say, “That's respect, that's what I call respect.” You hear the excitement mixed with the knowledge of what that honor brings.
Making a unanimous selection is not easy. In 2024, among the team's 50 voters, only Jefferson and Ja'Marr Chase were elected unanimously. It is also the second time Jefferson has been selected All-Pro, the first being in 2022.
