Detroit Lions seventh-round draft choice RB Jermar Jefferson signed a four-year contract with the Lions Friday, May 14. Financial terms were not disclosed.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson has great feet and the burst to get to and through the hole quickly. He's best used in space as a runner or receiver out of the backfield. He's buried on the depth chart with the Lions but we'll see how he does in deep dynasty formats. |

NFL | Jermar Jefferson talks with several teams Thu Feb 18, 05:44 PM
Oregon State RB Jermar Jefferson recently had virtual meetings with the San Francisco 49ers, New England Patriots, Green Bay Packers, New York Jets and Indianapolis Colts.
| Footballguys view: Jefferson is a creative runner with some size. He'll break off a 'dead leg' or spin move to create space as a runner, and he's got a gear to get outside if need be. Jefferson is willing between the tackles and can push the pile. He's also a good receiving option out of the backfield. Many see him as a mid-round pick in the 2021 NFL draft. |
