If there’s a career to the NFL that any linebacker would want to follow, it’s Malik Jefferson’s.
A native of Mesquite, Texas, Jefferson was essentially a star since the moment he stepped on the field. People knew he was good, but like many other pee-wee football players and Pop Warner stars, you had to wait and see how he evolved and if that success would continue into his high school days, especially in the state of Texas, where high school football is the biggest deal on earth.
As a sophomore at Poteet High School in 2012, Jefferson was actually playing defensive back.
