Come with me friends on a journey through time and elitism. It’s the year 2021 and the Lions are facing off against the Eagles. Emerging from the shadows of obscurity steps a rookie Jermar ready to prove himself. Not one opportunity, nary even two. No sir, a young Jefferson arrives and provides 6(!!!) opportunities as well as a TD in his first NFL showing. “WHO???” says the fans, but he was only beginning.
The NFL provides him a bye week following this breakout performance and he immediately teaches the Steelers the meaning of efficiency when he is given 3 opportunities to EXPLODE for 41 yards and ANOTHER TD. That’s nearly 14 yards per touch accumulated before closing the book on a heroic journey. But he wasn’t done…
2024. COVID is firmly behind us and in weeks 16 and 17 Chicago and San Francisco are about to find out what 3-4 yards per carry can do… well it’s not much, but the point is Jefferson shines like a beacon through a wool blanket before gracing his fellow teammates once more on the bench.
And now, one year and one team later he joins another resurgent star like Jacoby to break through the front line and deliver at least 2 YPC. The time to add is now. 🙌
