Jefferson’s NFL dream about more than just football

Little Luke shouts from the sideline, “That’s my daddy!” CeCe Jefferson smiles, gives him a wave and goes back to work.

Jefferson didn’t live the life of a normal college athlete in his four years at Florida. Before he ever played a snap for the Gators, he became a father to a baby boy who simply adores him. And the feeling is mutual.

As a young parent, Jefferson wanted to give Luke the world, but he didn’t exactly have the financial means to do that. He remembers taking Luke to the store and him begging for a new toy.
