Justin Jefferson, wide receiver for the Minnesota Vikings, met his super fan Cadillac Jack ahead of the team’s Week 15 game against the Indianapolis Colts on Saturday. The 23-year-old also gifted a shirt to the TikTok star. The two sides lock horns at the US Bank Stadium.
Cadillac Jack, whose real name is Jackie Thompson, became a social media sensation after her videos went viral on TikTok. She attended the Vikings’ Saturday game against the Colts and met with Justin Jefferson ahead of the kickoff.
Watch:
Thompson has been a staunch Vikings supporter.
“People come into work and they recognize me, they want to take a selfie with me and I’m like, ‘Why? I’m a nobody. I just, you know, sit in my kitchen and drink beer and watch football,” she told CBS earlier this year.

Jefferson has a league-leading 1,500 receiving yards and a legitimate opportunity to break the all-time single-season record set by Calvin Johnson (1,964) in 2012.
“That’s unbelievable to say, ain’t it? But I feel like there’s always a ‘better’ that I can be,” Jefferson said. “I feel like I can catch the ball better. I feel like I can have route running better. There’s always room for improvement in my game.”
Against the Detroit Lions last week, the 23-year-old had 223 receiving yards. With 4,516 yards, he’s already 10th in Vikings history.
Minnesota allowed 400-plus yards in their defeat to Detroit. They are 10-3 and a win against the Indianapolis Colts will take them to the NFC Crown.
