Latest in a Packers Prospects series looking at players Green Bay could select in the April 23-25 NFL draft.

GREEN BAY - As Joe Burrow’s star rose into what became a Heisman Trophy season, he pulled his teammates on the LSU offense with him.

Perhaps none benefited from Burrow’s magical year more than receiver Justin Jefferson. After a solid but unremarkable sophomore season, Jefferson exploded into one of the best receivers in college football as a junior. His 111 receptions were tied for first in the nation, while his 1,540 yards were third and his 18 touchdowns were second.
