LSU doesn't win a 2019 natty without Justin Jefferson.

Justin Jefferson probably doesn't play for LSU had Jordan and Rickey not come here.

So in a way Jordan Jefferson was partially responsible for the 2019 Best College Team Ever.

However you slice it, it speaks a lot about the Jefferson family that despite how horribly Jordan was treated in 2011-2012, they still felt good enough about the school to send two more sons to play for the purple and gold.

Any negative Issues involving Jordan's playing time at LSU is all on Miles

That’s a stretch if I’ve ever seen one

Ehhh. I mean I love Justin Jefferson and he will go down as one of the greatest LSU WR; but take him off this team and I am not so sure this is true. Chase, Marshall, McMath, Moss, CEH is still some deadly weapons and with Burrow/Brady I just don’t think the slight drop off is enough to cost us any of our games

Jordan Jefferson was one of the best QBs i played against in high school and would've flourished in the spread. I'll never forgive Les for what he did that guy's stint at LSU,

Dumb thread. I’m fine with your last paragraph. But Jordan Jefferson “redeeming himself” is dumb. He didn’t redeem himself nor does he need to. He played for LSU, won a lot of games and had a terrible final game. Life moves own. He doesn’t owe LSU anything.

JJ doesn't need redemption, but I'm sure it was awesome for his older brothers to see Justin finish what they started.

Jordan is coaching at Colorado State and seems to be doing well for himself, btw.

At the end of the day, As an LSU fan, you have to be Thankful for the Jefferson family.

ALL THREE of those dudes played their asses off for this school.

2/3 helped lead LSU to play for a National Championship and win an SEC Championship.

1/3 walked away with the ring.

After all of the hate the oldest one got, be thankful that the other 2 decided to come.

Jordan (minus the whole bar fight thing which honestly is not that big of a deal, its college) remained a good program steward during and after his tenure.

Justin is his own man. His accomplishments are a reflection of himself, not a vindication of what his brother did not do. Yes, Miles put Jordan in a bad spot on 1/9, but Jordan put Jordan in a bad spot the majority of the season and necessitated Jarrett Lee playing.

LSU did not utilize Jordan properly at all. Not the guys fault. He's a Tiger for life.

Jordan was the best QB on the roster when he was here. The program had issues at that time which limited his effectiveness, and everyone else's also. I've always had nothing but respect for Jordan and every member of that family.

We removed the QB who led us to the best midseason in LSU football history (at the time) and handed the whole thing over to Jordan who lost it.

Most of us think no one has ever been treated better than Jordan Jefferson. No one would take the risk of ruining a perfect season. But for JJ we did.
