Carter mentions that he doesn't want Jefferson to be like him or most other receivers and complain about targets or any quarterback situation, which Jefferson never has. He has always remained humble and loyal to Minnesota, even through the worst year of his career last season. Things appear to be going well right now with Kyler Murray; hopefully that relationship continues to grow.
