Justin Jefferson Has A Message For The NFL Teams That Passed On Him

Former LSU wide receiver Justin Jefferson was the fourth receiver taken off the board last week during the NFL Draft, being passed on by Las Vegas Raiders who selected Henry Ruggs, the Denver Broncos with Jerry Jeudy, and the Dallas Cowboys who took CeeDee Lamb.

Jefferson was on the Zach Gelb Show this week and said that the four teams that passed on are going to pay. Per SportsRadio610:

“I mean, yes,” Jefferson said on The Zach Gelb Show. “I felt like I was the best receiver in this draft class, and being the fifth receiver off the board, it kind of was a shocker. But also having that on my shoulder going into this next season with Minnesota, I’m definitely excited to show the world what I have.”

Jefferson showed a lot at LSU. In 2019, he had 111 catches for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns, helping the Tigers to a national championship. He is considered one of the most pro-ready wide receivers in this year’s class.

“Every single person that picked a receiver instead of me are going to pay,” Jefferson said. “I’m going to show them that I am the better receiver than the pick that they had. . . . I’m definitely excited to go into Minnesota and [compete] for [a] Super Bowl.”
