Justin Jefferson
Aside from Mims, Justin Jefferson was another wideout that helped his draft positioning at the NFL Combine. Jefferson was considered a fringe first-round pick before the combine. But now it’s tough seeing him get beyond the Bills at No. 22.
Of course, CeeDee Lamb, Jerry Jeudy, and Henry Ruggs are going to get all of the love early in the first round. As crazy as it might sound to some, Jefferson isn’t far off from those guys in terms of talent.
While Joe Burrow had himself a historic senior season at LSU, Jefferson went out with a bang as well. The junior pass-catcher ended the season with 111 receptions for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns.
Some people may think that Jefferson’s numbers were a product of him playing in a prolific. However, those people obviously didn’t watch him play this season then.
Besides his gaudy numbers, Jefferson is a crisp route-runner and has phenomenal hands at the point of attack. Plus, he’s 6-foot-3 and would become a taller option for Allen to target in the aerial attack.
