Justin Jefferson quite quickly rose to become arguably the best wide receiver in the NFL.
In this three years in the league, eclipsing the 1,400-yard receiving mark each time, and led with 1,809 yards this last season.
Named as a Pro Bowler and given All-Pro team honors each season, Jefferson even garnered some MVP votes, the most of any non-quarterback.
Now, arguing about who is the best at something is often subjective.
According to ESPN analyst Ryan Clark, there is a wide receiver in the NFL that is more talented than Jefferson.
When talking about the Steelers (his former team) on NFL Live on Wednesday, Clark shocked some of his co-hosts by saying that Pittsburgh wide receiver George Pickens is “much more talented” than Jefferson.
Clark says that Mike Tomlin mentioned that the coaching staff at Georgia didn’t do much to help in Pickens’ development, and they certainly didn’t try to “raise him.”
Perhaps we will see some of his untapped potentials unleashed this coming year because we haven’t seen much of what Clark was talking about.
Pickens played in all 17 games last season and caught 52 balls for 801 yards and four touchdowns. By comparison, Justin Jefferson had an 8-game stretch in which he gained 969 yards and scored five touchdowns on 65 catches.
