Tyreek Hill and Justin Jefferson are among the most elite wide receivers in the NFL. They are setting and breaking records every season. While the Miami Dolphins' star has more experience and better numbers under his belt, Hill's son has a clear favorite.

The eight-time Pro Bowler addressed the media ahead of the training camp and made a hilarious revelation about his son. Hill is coming off his worst season in five years and also missed the playoffs for the first time in his career.

On the other hand, the Minnesota Vikings' WR dropped another spectacular performance last season, earning his fourth Pro Bowl honor in five seasons. Jefferson has earned himself some fans and some more in the Hill family.

"My kids are Justin Jefferson fanatics," Hill said. "They really enjoy Justin Jefferson a lot. I was talking to my son on FaceTime last night, and his mom was like, 'One of the kids came over to him and was like, 'You're Tyreek Hill's son.' He was like 'Nah, Justin Jefferson my dad.'"

"So I got them on FaceTime and I'm like 'So, Justin Jefferson is your dad?' He was like 'nah, dad.' I was like, 'Well, tell Justin Jefferson to take your a** to Disney World.' Just small reminders like that from my kids always keep me wanting to achieve more and continue to get better."

Wild: Tyreek Hill says his son likes Justin Jefferson more than him and tells people that Jefferson is his dad and not Tyreek.

“Tell Justin Jefferson to take yo’ ahh to Disney.”

The hilarious exchange between the father-son duo is proof of the respect and love Jefferson has earned from fans all over the world with his performance. At 26, the Vikings star has already surpassed 7000 receiving yards, becoming the only player to do so in their first five seasons.

Jefferson carried the Vikings to a 14-3 record with a new quarterback. In the upcoming season, he will again be the primary weapon of a new quarterback, J.J. McCarthy. The Vikings begin their training camp on Wednesday, and it'd be interesting to see the McCarthy-Jefferson duo in action.
