Vikings star receiver Justin Jefferson has stirred the pot a bit by excluding Kirk Cousins from his impromptu list of the five best quarterbacks in the NFL. 

On his recent trip to Brazil as the NFL's Global Flag Football ambassador, Jefferson was asked by Brazilian journalist Danilo Lacalle for his top five quarterbacks in the NFL. Jefferson gave the reigning MVP Patrick Mahomes the top spot and followed with Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, Jalen Hurts and Josh Allen. 

No Kirk Cousins? It's hard to tell by the audio, but it does sound like Jefferson says "Kirko Bangz" right after mentioning Allen at No. 5. Kirko Bangz is the Texas rapper whose name inspired the "Kirko Chainz" nickname for Cousins. 

You be the judge. Here's the video clip. 

Cousins targeted Jefferson an NFL-high 184 times last season and that led to Jefferson catch 128 passes for 1,800 yards and winning the NFL Offensive Player of the Year award while also finishing as a finalist for the league MVP award.
