Leading the Gators with 35 receptions, 503 receiving yards and six receiving touchdowns, Van Jefferson has established himself as the headliner of the Gators’ passing attack. The former Ole Miss Rebel does most of his damage close to the perimeter of the field, specifically when the Gators are not in the red zone. Running, slants, posts and streaks down field, Jefferson doesn’t shy away from confrontation with any defensive back. Given his propensity to run posts and slants, the wideout can shake defenders with subtle moves at the top of his route to create separation. The 6’2”, 197 pound WR makes up for a lack of elusivity by fighting through contact at the line of scrimmage, sometimes corralling a pass through double teams.
