ASU's 50 Best Professional Athletes: No. 34 Football's John Jefferson

Next up is a player regarded as one the best receivers in college football history, and a part of a revolutionary NFL passing attack.

Next up on our list is the player deemed as arguably being the best receiver in ASU football history—John Jefferson.

Jefferson joined the Sun Devils in 1974. During the 1975 season, he logged over 900 yards receiving, keying ASU's undefeated 12-0-run which landed them a Fiesta Bowl spot and a No. 2 ranking in the final poll.

The Dallas native finished his career the most receptions in school history (188) and yards (2,993), and caught a pass in 42 consecutive games—an NCAA record.
