NFL offensive and defensive coordinators should have learned one lesson apiece watching LSU receiver Justin Jefferson dominate his team’s College Football Playoff semifinal win over Oklahoma.
For the offensive play-caller: Play him in the slot.
For the defensive play-caller: Avoid using off coverage against him.
Error 0:
Against a Sooners defense that was chasing their collective tail, Jefferson had 14 catches for 224 yards and four touchdowns in LSU’s 63-28 rout.
While not regarded in the top tier with Oklahoma’s CeeDee Lamb and Alabama’s Jerry Jeudy and Henry Ruggs, Jefferson will make an offense better, including the Broncos.
