Justin Jefferson

PositiveProjection0:00

Kevin Oonnell expects a big bounce-back from Justin Jefferson this season, citing red zone misfortune and quarterback/playcalling regression as the primary culprits rather than Jefferson's receiving ability. Jefferson was tied for eighth with 10 red zone targets but caught only one (10% conversion), posting a 29% catch rate in the red zone—third worst among players with at least 10 red zone targets. Before last season, Jefferson held the NFL record for career receiving yards per game at 96.5 yards/game (now behind Puka Nacua at 95). Oonnell attributes the decline to McCarthy and Max Brosmer's offensive scheme rather than Jefferson's talent, noting that Kyler Murray, while not elite, is a clear upgrade over the previous quarterback situation. The source frames Jefferson as an elite play designer's (Kevin Oonnell's) receiver returning to form under improved quarterback play and playcalling.

0:00No wide receiver was more unlucky with
0:02touchdown variance than Justin Jefferson
0:04last season. Tied for eighth with 10
0:07targets inside the 10 yard line. He
0:09caught one of them. And his 29% catch
0:12rate in the red zone was third worst
0:14among players with at least 10 red zone
0:16targets. We know Justin Jefferson can
0:18catch. This is not an issue with him
0:20being able to catch. It was a McCarthy
0:22and Brosmer issue last season. Kyler is
0:25not an elite quarterback, but I promise
0:27you he's better than McCarthy and Max
0:30Brosmer. Puka, remember I said he has
0:32the highest uh career receiving yards
0:36per game in NFL history. Well, before
0:38last season, that was Justin Jefferson.
0:40So, right now, Puk is at 95. Going into
0:43last year, 96 and a half receiving yards
0:46per game for Justin Jefferson. And I
0:48feel like people have a little bit
0:50forgotten that a little bit forgotten
0:52that we were in love with Kevin Oonnell
0:54as an elite play designer, play caller
0:56last season and then McCarthy tanks the
0:58offense. I'm expecting a big bounce back
1:00from Justin Jefferson this season.
1:02Amazing pick at the tail end of round
