After suffering injuries in a car accident pre-draft, Michael Jefferson is now cleared to sign with an NFL team
Michael Jefferson is a big wide out standing at 6’4 and was a huge target for Louisiana. Back in April, before the NFL Draft, Jefferson was involved in a multi-car crash in Alabama just two weeks before the NFL Draft, and suffered multiple injuries.
Jefferson underwent a series of multiple surgeries from the injuries sustained, and would end up going undrafted.
Many had the big wide receiver getting drafted in the 3rd-6th round.
Jefferson has had to overcome a lot since the crash. Not only did he suffer injuries, one of the men that collided with him in the accident Charles Dunn, 55, was killed in the crash.
Jefferson is now ready to return to the game he has dominated for years. According to Ian Rapoport, the mid round prospect is able to fly, take physicals and sign with a team if they have interest.
Jefferson spent three seasons at Alabama State from 2018 to 2020. He recorded 85 receptions, 1,116 yards and 18 touchdowns in 27 games for the Hornets.
After transferring to Louisiana in 2021, Jefferson racked up 1,291 yards and 11 touchdowns on 69 catches in 26 games over two seasons.
