What I immediately notice from this is that Jefferson is very diversified in his route running.  Much like Diggs, you can have him run anything, which keeps the defense from cheating on a particular route.

JUSTIN JEFFERSONWR, MINNESOTA VIKINGS

Vikings selected LSU WR Justin Jefferson with the No. 22 overall pick in the 2020 NFL Draft.A two-year starting slot receiver at LSU, Jefferson (6’1/202) set the school record for receptions (111) as a junior in the most prolific passing offense in college football history. He wins with nuanced route running, steady hands, straigh-tline speed (4.41), and 6.4 YAC per reception. Per Pro Football Focus, Jefferson accumulated 41 percent of his 2019 yardage (1,540) from ins, outs, and crosses, which are fortunately the routes he’ll likely see most often with the Vikings. He also ranked second to Jerry Jeudy in 15-plus yard catches the past two seasons. Jefferson can be a reliable target in any role as a rookie since he ran 19 percent of his routes from the slot in '18 before seeing an increase to 78 percent during the team's National Championship run. He's a high-floor, high-ceiling WR3/4 in Minnesota since the opportunity is ripe for an every-down role across from Adam Thielen. The Vikings will still utilize a heavy dose of 12 personnel featuring Kyle Rudolph and Irv Smith, too.

Just want to mention again that Michael Irvin was talking out of his ass when he said Jefferson ran out of the slot 99% of the time...

Yeah, but can he tweet in a cryptic fashion?

Wonder how far he can throw a helmet

Justin Jefferson was one of 5 WRs with Scouts Inc. grades over 90 (deemed a 'rare prospect'), which is the most since 2014. The fact that he was available to Minnesota at 22 surpassed the need for OT/CB at that pick, which the Vikings could address at 25.
