Justin Jefferson pulls off epic prank as photographer on Vikings GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah
In a delightful twist this week, Minnesota Vikings’ standout wide receiver Justin Jefferson showcased his hidden talent for acting in an entertaining episode of “The Undercovers” on Amazon Prime Video. Jefferson cleverly disguised himself as a seasoned photographer named “Darius Frost,” pranking the unsuspecting Vikings’ General Manager Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.
Prank on Vikings GM
The episode, released this week, captures Jefferson donning a fishing hat to hide his signature braids and adopting a high-pitched voice to enhance his disguise. Throughout the photo shoot, Jefferson amused Adofo-Mensah with Minnesota trivia questions while managing to maintain his cover until the end. Jefferson humorously mispronounced the GM’s name and jokingly requested a $140 million contract—the same amount he signed for in 2024.
Additional Cast and Events
- The prank also included three Vikings assistant coaches: Wes Phillips, Keenan McCardell, and Tony Sorrentino.
- Jefferson asked them to engage in humorous poses until Sorrentino spotted the hidden identity.
- In another segment, Jefferson traveled to St. Paul for a flag football event, capturing photos from the sidelines.
Surprise at the Flag Football Tournament
At the tournament, Jefferson mingled with spectators, quizzing them on Minnesota’s state bird, the “common loon,” while taking unseen portraits. He then cleverly switched roles, participating in the game, showcasing unparalleled skills in running routes and catching passes while staying in character. Only later did participants realize the celebrity in their midst, appreciating the lighthearted deception.
Jefferson’s Take on the Experience
Reflecting on the experience, Jefferson expressed gratitude for stepping away from the constant attention of his high-profile career. “It was refreshing to feel anonymous and engage freely without being recognized,” he noted on Thursday, highlighting the extraordinary yet ordinary enjoyment of blending in unnoticed.
