5 questions with Building the Dam: Jermar Jefferson has ‘incredible patience and timing’

The Detroit Lions went off in the 2021 NFL Draft. They got tons of athletic value that can help sustain the team for years to come. Then in the seventh round, with a pick they acquired from the Cleveland Browns, the Lions selected running back Jermar Jefferson from Oregon State.

Jefferson is a guy whose footwork in his highlight reel is going to get Lions fans excited about his potential. I know this moment really did it for me. Watch him stop on a dime, wait for the block, then take it the rest of the way home.
