Tandem of Lofton & Jefferson: How good was it?

Greg from Knoxville, TN

I’ve enjoyed your Packers coverage for years. No one could have been a better choice for Packers historian. Now, can you tell me how long James Lofton and John Jefferson were on the team together? How did their stats match up with other duos? As I recall, JJ was in the twilight of his career and had a limited number of receptions.

Greg, let me start by thanking you for the kind words, and thanking you and others for being loyal readers.

Lofton and Jefferson played four years together in Green Bay, although it should be noted that Jefferson didn’t join the Packers until the fourth week of the 1981 season and played only eight games in the strike-shortened 1982 season.
