Justin Jefferson dishes on incredible LSU football’s WR pipeline
The LSU football pipeline is real, just ask Justin Jefferson. The former star receiver was one of the best receivers in the country during his time in Baton Rouge.
Jefferson and Ja’Marr Chase were the top-receiving duo in the country. Funny enough, they were also in the same category as Jarvis Landry and Odell Beckham Jr. when they played together.
Also, Jefferson compared the LSU football team to his Minnesota Vikings team this previous season. Although the latter didn’t make it past the Wild Card round, it’s worth mentioning the similarities.
When he appeared on the Pat McAfee Show, the Vikings star elaborated more on that LSU pipeline.
“It’s unreal, honestly,” Jefferson said. “Just growing up and seeing Odell (Beckham Jr.) and Jarvis (Landry) coming up and being a fan of those guys and growing that friendship with them. It was just great to see them growing up. Then, for me and Ja’Marr (Chase) to be at LSU, win a National Championship, and just be top-tier players.
“Then for Brian (Thomas Jr.) and Malik (Nabers) to come? There’s just so much talent and so many things that are going on at LSU. Of course, playing those top-tier guys every single week helps us to become top-tier NFL players, but as you said, it’s either something in the water or something in the gumbo.
