    Minnesota Vikings star Justin Jefferson might be the highest paid wide receiver in the league, but you wouldn't know it if you looked at his home. Of all the exciting looks behind the curtain with Netlfix's Receiver docuseries - which followed the likes of George Kittle, Deebo Samuel, Davante Adams, Amon Ra St. Brown and Justin Jefferson - one of the most shocking moments had to be the reveal of Jefferson's modest home in Minnesota. Jefferson, who signed a four-year, $140 million contract this past June, gets paid $35 million a year - which edges out about half of the quarterback annual salaries across the league. Despite cashing in big this offseason, Jefferson still lives modestly, and calls a $405,000 townhouse home. Here's a picture from Netflix's
    Receiver for reference: [caption id="attachment_602519" align="alignnone" width="1024"] https://img.particlenews.com/image.php?url=1pf1ft_0udOWDc100 Netflix[/caption] We're led to believe in the show that he only lives in one side of that townhouse, as most people do, but the way his vehicles are parked in that picture looks a little bizarre. Regardless of if he just lives in one side or utilizes the whole thing (imagining being duplex neighbors with Justin Jefferson), it's still a modest home for someone that currently holds the title of highest paid receiver in the NFL. Jefferson was asked if he was still living in the same home while he was at Vikings training camp, and he said that he was still happily living in the townhome:
    "I'm one person. I ain't got no big family. I don't need to be in no $10 million mansion. That's not something I came from. I grew up with parents that were grateful for what they have, and I was grateful for what I grew up with. I never grew up having a big ol' house. So maybe I'll move on to that... maybe not. I guess we'll find out sooner or later." https://twitter.com/JeffWaldFox9/status/1816508452761727010 I imagine it's a matter of time before we see JJ in something a little bit bigger... He does drive a $150,000 Mercedes-Benz, though: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ug5GX-sqEms
