Minnesota Vikings’ rising star, Justin Jefferson, recently made a surprising revelation about his musical knowledge, admitting that he had never heard of the popular rock band Creed until quarterback Kirk Cousins introduced their music in the team’s locker room.
Creed’s Unexpected Comeback: In a recent interview, Jefferson expressed his ignorance about Creed, mentioning that the only ‘Creed’ he knew was the boxing movie. The band, known for dominating the charts in the early 2000s, particularly with hits like “With Arms Wide Open,” had seemingly escaped Jefferson’s musical radar until now.
Locker Room Soundtrack: Vikings quarterback Kirk Cousins, known for his eclectic taste in music, brought Creed’s lyrical stylings to the team’s locker room. Jefferson, initially unfamiliar with the band, embraced the musical addition with humor, stating, “If it gets the job done, I’m all for it.”

Quarterback Dobbs Joins the Creed Craze: The Creed phenomenon extended beyond Cousins to backup quarterback Joshua Dobbs, who recently posted a TikTok video featuring Creed’s “Higher” as he scored a touchdown against the New Orleans Saints. The video quickly gained attention on social media, showcasing the infectious influence of the band within the Vikings’ ranks.
Creed Bonds Teams Across Sports: It’s not just the Vikings under the Creed spell; the World Series champion Texas Rangers also embraced the band’s music. World Series MVP Corey Seager explained that the shared love for Creed served as a bonding element for the team. Creed reciprocated the support by making an appearance during an American League Division Series game at Globe Life Field.

Uncertain Future: While Creed’s influence seems to be spreading across sports, it remains unclear if the band will make a special appearance for the Vikings, mirroring their involvement in the Texas Rangers’ postseason game.
Creed’s unexpected resurgence in popularity among NFL players, including the Minnesota Vikings, adds a unique touch to the team dynamics. From rookies like Justin Jefferson to seasoned players like Kirk Cousins, the band’s music is proving to be a unifying force, creating unexpected bonds within the world of sports.
