Just as the Chiefs run a speed offensive system, McVey run a precise offensive system.
Optimum, McVey wants accurate passes thrown to receivers running precise patterns.
McVey also needed a deep threat receiver. At the Senior Bowl Van Jefferson's field speed
was measured at 21.05 MPH which is equivalent to 3.8 seconds in the 40 yd. dash.
Jefferson's best attribute is his route running, so Van gives McVey the best of both worlds:
a deep threat receiver who runs precise patterns.
At Florida, Jefferson did not put his speed on display very much, probably because of the
way the offense was designed.
