LSU football has to replace an extremely productive wide receiver in Justin Jefferson.

LSU football‘s Justin Jefferson was one of the most productive players in college football in 2019.

Jefferson, who was selected in the first round of the 2020 NFL Draft by the Minnesota Vikings (No. 22 overall), caught 111 passes for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns last season for the Tigers.

The 111 receptions were the most among FBS wide receivers.

While LSU still has some incredible talent at wide receiver (Ja’Marr Chase is the best wide receiver in the nation), that’s still a lot of lost production.
