Van Jefferson brings unfulfilled potential to Rams

Jefferson was the country’s 11th-best receiver coming out of high school and though he played four seasons with the Florida Gators, he failed to truly breakout as one of the best receivers from his class during his time.

His final career advanced statistics at Florida go as follows:

Targets: 261

Receptions: 174

Catch Rate: 66.7%

Yards: 2,156

Yds/Catch: 12.4

Yards After the Catch: 783

YAC/Catch: 4.5

TDs: 16

Receiving First-Downs: 55

Drops: 13

Broken Tackles: 17

Those numbers look impressive for a receiver…
