It wasn’t that way back that Howie Roseman made what rapidly grew to become a nasty determination when he selected to draft Jalen Reagor over Justin Jefferson in 2020. The transfer was closely criticized nearly instantly after it was made, and we’ve all needed to reside with these penalties within the seasons since — particularly each time Jefferson units a brand new report or wins one other award.
However, it’s now 2023 and the Eagles have A.J. Brown and DeVonta Smith so it’s all previously. Apparently, nonetheless, Jefferson not too long ago named his Prime 5 quarterbacks throughout a visit to Brazil and included Jalen Hurts — together with Patrick Mahomes, Aaron Rodgers, Joe Burrow, and Josh Allen — in his listing and never his personal, Vikings QB, Kirk Cousins.
It’s a kind of conditions the place Jefferson is totally right within the selections he made, however honesty over loyalty isn’t all the time every to return by — let’s not overlook that CB Jerry Jacobs not too long ago put his teammate, Lions QB Jared Goff, in his Prime 5.
Jefferson to the Eagles is a storyline that’s run it’s course, however I’d be curious how a lot the Vikings’ WR needs that Roseman would have referred to as him as an alternative of Reagor that evening three years in the past.
