When it came time to pick his new jersey number, Jefferson's choice shouldn't surprise LSU fans.
Jefferson wore No. 2 in Baton Rouge, but when given the opportunity to pick a new number, the LSU star chose No. 18.
The No. 18 jersey is handed out each year at LSU to a player viewed as a team leader and top talent on roster.
"Having 18 at LSU was definitely a big deal and a leadership deal, so definitely coming in, trying to be one of those leaders for the team and providing whatever to the team to make us win," Jefferson told Vikings.com writer Craig Peters.

For Jefferson, the chance to showcase his talents at the next level with the Vikings is an opportunity he's eager to jump into.
"I mean, words cannot describe the feeling in my heart," Jefferson said on a teleconference call. "Just having my heart pounding, just as soon as I'm receiving the phone call and just realizing that I'm finally becoming a professional athlete and playing for an NFL team. Definitely excited and ready to join the team."

Would never happen - Sean Payton has said that his biggest pet peeve is Saints / LSU fans constantly telling him “you’ve got to draft (insert LSU player here)”.
His pretty clear implication is that he will not pick LSU players in order to avoid giving satisfaction to these fans.
