Disguised as nature photographer Darius Frost, Jefferson infiltrated the Vikings’ TCO Performance Center this summer for what appeared to be a routine headshot session with GM Kwesi Adofo-Mensah.
The result was a three-minute masterclass in deception that had the man who inked Jefferson’s $140 million extension completely fooled.

Jefferson committed to the bit with full makeup, a wig, a fake nose, bucket hat, and glasses, transforming himself into an awkward bird-watcher with zero idea about football.
The Vikings wide receiver disguised himself as a nerdy nature photographer named Darius Frost for the GM’s annual photo shoot. He kept the act going hilariously, intentionally mispronouncing his own name and pretending not to know what the full form of GM was.
“I thought it meant Great Man,” he laughed. The GM stayed in good spirits throughout the moment, but things got awkward when Jefferson asked him to strike a “Viking pose.” He laughed it off and declined to play along.
