Despite an incredible statistical season in 2019, LSU football wide receiver Justin Jefferson is still somehow being overlooked in the 2020 NFL Draft.
Jefferson, who caught 111 passes for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns as a junior in 2019, is not among Pro Football Focus’ top five wide receivers in their final draft breakdown.
The Louisiana native is actually the No. 8 wide receiver on Pro Football Focus’ big board.
Here are the seven wide receivers ahead of Jefferson.
- Jerry Jeudy — Alabama
- CeeDee Lamb — Oklahoma
- Henry Ruggs III — Alabama
- Laviska Shenault Jr — Colorado
- Jalen Reagor — TCU
- Michael Pittman Jr — USC
- Tee Higgins — Clemson
Pro Football Focus’ main issue with Jefferson is his ability to separate from defenders.
