Just about two weeks away from the 2023 NFL Draft kicking off is the worst time for any of this year’s prospects to suffer an injury, let alone a major one. Unfortunately for Louisiana-Lafayette wide receiver Michael Jefferson, that’s his situation right now. Jefferson suffered injuries that call for multiple surgeries after he was part of a multiple-vehicle crash on Sunday in Mobile, Alabama, according to an ESPN report citing Jefferson’s agent.
Jefferson measured at 6-foot-4, 199 pounds with a 4.56 40-yard dash and 37-inch vertical at the NFL Scouting Combine. His athletic testing plus a senior year in which he recorded 810 receiving yards and seven receiving touchdowns on 51 catches positioned him as a potential Day 3 draft selection. Jefferson scored 29 total touchdowns in his college career.
Now, it appears that Jefferson may have to latch on to an NFL team as undrafted free agent given the severity of his injuries.
