LSU wideout Justin Jefferson has declared for the 2020 NFL draft, as he tells Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports.
“We just had a perfect year,” Jefferson said. “We won the national championship and set records. We had a lot of awards and did it with our team. I feel like it was the best way to go.”
Jefferson, who stands 6’3″ and 192 pounds, posting an outstanding campaign during his final year at LSU, catching 111 passes for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns while hauling in passes from Heisman winner Joe Burrow. In the National Championship Game, Jefferson posted nine receptions for 106 yards.
In an exceptionally deep wide receiver class, Kyle Crabbs of The Draft Network ranks Jefferson as the draft’s seventh-best wideout and the 36th overall player, meaning he could potentially come off the board at the end of the first round or the beginning of Day 2.
Perfect time to get out before you get questioned about taking cash from OBJ lololol
Or being a product of Joe Burrow’s greatness.
How much of Burrow’s greatness in due to him throwing to 3 NFL caliber wideouts through? All three of those guys are going to be day 1/2 drafts picks.
I would draft a guy who takes cash from OBJ but not wardrobe advice.
Can’t come back next year. If the numbers drop, teams will just assume Burrow made him.
Smart move.
“Odell just handed me 15 large, so it’s time for me to get the heck out of here. Geaux Tigers!”
