Since people liked the thread on Terrell Burgess, I figured I'd do another one on Van Jefferson, with a few other notes thrown in as well.
In this video you can see some video of his family during draft night. You can actually watch the entire thing on his sisters YouTube channel.
At the end of the video, his sister is recording their father, Shawn Jefferson (who's the Jets WR coach now), as he's talking about answering different calls (I'm assuming congratulatory ones), and she asks him how he feels about Van being drafted by the Rams.
Shawn immediately says relieved, says that the Rams are a great team for him because we throw the ball, and we're a great situation to be in and it'll make him a better pro than college player. He also says he's with a great receivers coach in Eric Yarber.
Shawn goes on to say he was hoping Van would go to a team that is serious about football and winning and he thinks the Rams are one of those teams, mentions he knows Les Snead (Shawn was going to interview for Rams WR coach back in 2016 but the Dolphins swooped him up first), and he thinks that Van is going to be good for us.
Excited to see what he does on the field, I think he's going to fit in really well with our group.
