Van Jefferson is the man for the Pittsburgh Steelers, at least after George Pickens, in light of Brandon Aiyuk signing an extension with the San Francisco 49ers. The veteran wide receiver is attempting to revitalize his career, which has gone downhill since winning the Super Bowl. While he has also dealt with injury, he seems to think it’s not entirely coincidental.
“After the Super Bowl, you can kind of get complacent”, Jefferson admitted to Mike DeFabo of The Athletic. “It’s like, ‘Bro, you won the Super Bowl. What’s next’”? Jefferson won the Super Bowl with the Rams in 2021, just his second season in the league.
