Justin Jefferson was productive at LSU and has the skill set to succeed in the NFL, but how high is his ceiling of the 2020 NFL Draft prospect?

Justin Jefferson heads into the 2020 NFL Draft in an advantageous position.

While many regard him as being on the level below Jerry Jeudy, CeeDee Lamb, and Henry Ruggs III, Jefferson has the appeal of being a crucial receiver on one of the most productive offenses in college football history.

Despite the numbers he and the LSU offense put up in 2019, WR4 would appear to be his ceiling in a stacked class.

Teams not in a position to draft Jeudy, Lamb or Ruggs will hope Jefferson proves to be much more than a consolation prize. However, significant development will need to be made for him to end up as the cream of the crop among the 2020 wide receivers.

After a blazing combine and ultra-productive campaign for the Nation Championship winning LSU Tigers, just how high will Jefferson hear his name called in the 2020 NFL Draft? Furthermore, just how high is his ceiling at the next level, and is it as high as the likes of Ruggs III, Jeudy, and Lamb?
