Justin Jefferson info

Jefferson doesn’t have the physicality trait that Thomas possesses. Jefferson also doesn’t have the ability to pull down balls with a defender draped on his body and arms. Jefferson has more of a finesse style. CGM is a rare breed that you don’t see often. It’s not a knock on Jefferson.

1) FACT: No two players are EXACTLY alike.

2) FACT: Jefferson was one of the best contested ball catchers in college football last year, playing primarily in the slot.

I think Jefferson hasn't shown the SAME kind of physical play as CGM because he hasn't needed to show the same kind of physical play. We all understand that CGM is not going to win a lot of sprints. He has other ways of getting separation and a lot of that involves him fighting for the ball when catching it. Jefferson is significantly faster than CGM, so of course he hasn't shown to be as physical. When he was drafted, CGM wasn't as physical as he is now either.

Regardless of what you and I think, if Joe Brady (a guy who has worked closely with both of them) feels the comparison is there then why would you not listen to him?
