Fantasy Impact:
When you put on Justin Jefferson's tape, there's no questioning his separation ability. When you combine his ability to get open with his outstanding hands, he becomes a very intriguing draft prospect. The only question regarding Jefferson as a top-tier WR prospect was his long speed. The general expectation was for Jefferson to run somewhere in the mid 4.5's, but he blew those expectations out of the water with a blazing 4.43 time. Jefferson proved with this run that he can play outside consistently (which he didn't do frequently at LSU) and has enough speed to take the top off the defense. Jefferson's NFL draft stock skyrockets with this performance, as does his Dynasty rookie draft stock.
