Michael Jefferson, a Louisiana-Lafayette wide receiver who was expected to be selected in the 2023 NFL Draft later this month, was in a multi-car crash last weekend and has required multiple surgeries, his agent told ESPN's Adam Schefter.
The incident reportedly occurred Sunday night in Jefferson's hometown of Mobile, Alabama. The nature of his injuries are unclear, but were apparently serious enough to require surgery.
The Alabama Law Enforcement Agency told TMZ the accident occurred on U.S. Route 43. A 55-year-old man in a 2014 Dodge Charger reportedly collided head-on with Jefferson's 2019 Chevrolet Impala, then was hit by a 2008 Nissan Maxima.
