Touchdown Wire compiled a defining stat for each first-round draft pick.
The Vikings two choices in that round — LSU wideout Justin Jefferson and TCU corner Jeff Gladney — both tallied interesting stats in their final collegiate season, which might indicate NFL success in certain areas.
Jefferson’s stat was his 109 slot receptions, which led the NCAA in 2019. Here’s what the outlet said about Jefferson:
Jefferson’s 2019 place in LSU’s explosive passing game is that he led the NCAA in both slot receptions (109) and yardage from slot receptions (1,518). Jefferson has the attributes to play more of an outside role, but he blew up just about every defense he went against in the slot.
Gladney’s defining stat was his catches allowed on passes for 20 or more yards in which he was the primary target. He gave up just six catches in those situations.
Here’s what Touchdown Wire said about the cornerback:
“Gladney, the TCU alum, gives Mike Zimmer a good place to start when rebuilding at the position. Gladney is especially adept in deep coverage — on passes of 20 or more air yards in which he was the primary target in 2019, he allowed just six catches on 20 targets.”
