Joe Burrow's favorite target is following him to the NFL.

LSU wideout Justin Jefferson told Pete Thamel of Yahoo Sports he plans to forgo his final season of eligibility and enter the 2020 NFL draft.

"We just had a perfect year," Jefferson said. "We won the national championship and set records. We had a lot of awards and did it with our team. I feel like it was the best way to go."

Jefferson recorded a team-high 111 receptions for 1,540 yards and 18 touchdowns last season. He hauled in nine passes for 106 yards in the Tigers' 42-25 trouncing of Clemson in Monday's national championship game.
