What I see is that I don't have a 40 on Jefferson.
Dude was playing with an injury at the senior bowl and got surgery after the med check at the combine.
The assumption is that because he's such a good route runner that he lacks speed. Maybe that's part of his route running ability ... changing speeds.
At the senior bowl I watched him torch defenders with route running ... I watched Duvernay and Mims and Gibson too ... Van Jefferson didn't look super fast ... but no one could cover him. The others didn't look super fast either.
If you had told me Mims would run a 4.39 I would have said you were nuts.
So if Jefferson participates at the combine and runs low 4.4s ... where is he drafted? Gotta think he doesnt get out of the first frame.
I'm simply looking at the tape. Jefferson doesn't jump off the screen to me. I get that he gets great separation at the college level, but in the NFL these DBs have great quickness. If the Rams can't stretch the field, that will be a big problem, and we will find out soon enough.
