Jefferson’s athletic fit is obvious: run, hit, cover ground and help on kicks immediately. The defensive role can develop behind quality veterans, but his speed gives him a practical game-day path from the start.
Strengths: 4.4 speed, range, athletic scheme fit, productive Alabama résumé, and immediate special-teams projection.
Weaknesses: Rookie processing and a crowded linebacker room mean his defensive snaps will need to be earned gradually.
