Justin Jefferson

The former LSU wide receiver was one of the biggest winners from the NFL Combine and Michael Middlehurst-Schwartz of USA Today ranked him as his number two winner.

"2. Justin Jefferson, WR, LSU: So much for the questions about his athleticism. The 6-1, 202-pound target notched a sterling set of numbers in testing: a 4.43-second 40 (tied for eighth among receivers), 37 1/2-inch vertical leap and 10-4 broad jump. Jefferson also had perhaps the smoothest on-field workout of any player at his position, highlighting his primary value as a trusted outlet for any quarterback. His potential place in the first round is looking increasingly secure."

Jefferson had a breakout season this past year and became one of Joe Burrow’s favorite targets. He finished the season with 111 receptions, 1,540 receiving yards and 18 touchdowns.

He is similar to Denzel Mims in that he would give Josh Allen a big target, someone who has a big catch radius and will give Allen more room to put the ball because of his physical abilities to go up and get it.

The Buffalo Bills should have plenty of options at 22 and if they decide to go wide receiver in the first then Justin Jefferson is sure to be in the discussion.
