In the series, Jefferson opens up about his jewelry obsession, which he claims helps him get into character as ‘Jets,’ his confident and swaggering alter ego. “I like looking good while I go play,” he says, revealing that his jewelry collection is more than just a fashion statement – it’s a key to unlocking his on-field persona.
But Jefferson’s love of jewelry is just one aspect of his personality that the series explores. He also talks about his sweet tooth, revealing that his mom is to blame for his candy addiction. “I eat candy in the morning. I eat candy at night time,” he admits, although he does try to balance his junk food habits with healthier options.

The series also delves into Jefferson’s tough season, which was marked by a goal-line fumble in Philly and a hamstring injury that sidelined him for seven games. “I ain’t gonna lie. It was a tough feeling,” he says, reflecting on the emotional toll of the injury.
One of the most dramatic moments in the series comes when Jefferson suffers a pulmonary contusion in a game against the Raiders. “I don’t ever want to go in the back of an ambulance again,” he says, recalling the terrifying experience.
Throughout the series, Jefferson’s relationships with his coaches and teammates are also put under the microscope. His close bond with quarterback Kirk Cousins is particularly touching, as is his devastation when Cousins tears his Achilles tendon.
