Willie Jefferson is back in the NFL and ready to earn a spot on the Washington Redskins’ roster after recently winning a championship in the Canadian Football League.
A native of Beaumont, Texas, Jefferson attended Stephen F. Austin where he would earn first-team All-Southland Conference honors during his senior season, registering a team-high eight sacks and five fumbles forced.
But despite his collegiate success, he was not selected in the 2013 NFL Draft and entered the league as a college free agent with the Houston Texans.
Jefferson would eventually be released by the Texans before a brief stint with the Buffalo Bills.
