Evaluation
Jefferson loves to get after the quarterback off the edge. That can be a positive and a negative for him. He is so quick off the ball that teams can run into his gap, so he needs to work on that part of his game. When he able to rush the quarterback, he is as good as it gets. He has a great first step off the ball, he has a burst, and he closes well. He has good length and a frame that will continue to fill out. – Chad Simmons
