From the episode

Can he have the sort of season where he's the offensive player of the year? I think he can. He probably can. He's good enough for it.

STACKED’s take

Positive signalProjection

Jefferson has OPOY upside despite potential scheme limitations.

The source suggests Justin Jefferson has the talent to win Offensive Player of the Year, though there is uncertainty regarding the Vikings' offensive scheme and whether Kyler Murray's specific playstyle will limit Jefferson's access to the intermediate middle of the field.
