Van Jefferson, WR, Florida
Post Combine
I would love to buy stock in a couple players before the draft:
— Daniel Jeremiah (@MoveTheSticks) April 9, 2020
LB Kenneth Murray Oklahoma
LB/Edge Josh Uche Michigan
OG Robert Hunt Louisiana
WR Van Jefferson Florida
All of these players are ready to have day one impact as starters.
Van Jefferson is one of the top route runners in this year's draft class. Good job selling the fade then breaking inside to catch the slant for a TD. Notice how he hung on through violent contact at the end. Caught it with his hands too. Such a polished WR. pic.twitter.com/aI4PbrkHg5

In the redzone, Van sells the fade patiently before snapping back inside on the slant.
Stingley is one of the best cover guys in the nation!!

Watch Jefferson stem up the CB before snapping this off. He creates so much separation in every game I study. He’s going to be such a steal in 3rd round range. pic.twitter.com/zIkZK2XyXZ

Florida WR @VanJefferson12 couldn’t run the 40 at Combine (foot injury) but @ZebraTechnology had him as fastest player at the @seniorbowl with max speed of 21.05 mph, which is faster than Devin Duvernay (20.90/4.39), Denzel Mims (20.26/4.38), and Antonio Gibson (20.15/4.39). 🔥🔥 pic.twitter.com/t7Y8nRmonn

We will stay with receivers today, and look at Bryan Edwards and Van Jefferson. As you look at my evaluations, think about this: how many receivers are scheme transcendent, and how many become a function of how they are deployed, i.e. scheme adaptability? pic.twitter.com/ngQlMxmT6v

This player did not register enough metrics to qualify for #RAS.https://t.co/TaWIQ3Qgyz pic.twitter.com/1AtjzvHdct
Quality QB play is obviously a large part trying to evaluate wide receivers coming into the NFL.

Using PFF data, here is how often the 2020 WR class saw an accurate pass on their targets: pic.twitter.com/1DleCybZKe
Lawrence Cager (not benching)
— Eric Edholm (@Eric_Edholm) February 26, 2020
Marquez Callaway (not benching — personal preference)
Bryan Edwards (undecided on whether he'll bench at pro day)
Tee Higgins (will bench at pro day)
Van Jefferson (pro day)
Jordan Jefferson (pro day)
... missed a bunch more who aren't benching
No, I view Jefferson as a good No. 2 WR who can play slot or outside. Smooth route-runner. Really smart player. https://t.co/lTdS6V9rVj

Van Jefferson can really drop his weight to sell a route break and accelerate out of it. Deadly. pic.twitter.com/8nET86K7kg

• There isn’t a CB here that can cover Van Jefferson on curl or comeback routes
• There isn’t a CB here that can defend Collin Johnson
Thought DB Dane Jackson and WR Van Jefferson had standout days for the North. #SeniorBowl
