Jefferson stepping up?

NOLA

ESPN

notable quotes after the jump

Star-divide

"He's taken that jump, " said freshman wide receiver Russell Shepard, who has sought out Jefferson's advice more than a few times. "He's going to have an amazing junior campaign. He's watching more film, lifting hard, running hard and he's been very vocal."
"You can tell the way he's carrying himself and his body language that he's more comfortable, " Ridley said. "He's the head guy. The players pick up on that. The quarterback is where it all starts, the general. If Jordan is confident, you're confident too."
"I'm going to be more vocal, " Jefferson said. "The offensive line is very young so I have to watch them and make sure they do things right. I have to watch a lot more film, just work on some small things like being more outgoing with the team, start hanging out with a lot of people that I didn't have a chance to the year before. But now since I'm going to be depending on them we have to have that type of relationship."
“He’s a lot more vocal than he used to be and not afraid to get in somebody’s face if he has to,” said Shepard, who roomed with Jefferson on the road last season. “You’re going to see a different quarterback out there. I’m probably closer to him than anybody on the team, and I can tell you that he’s taking his game to the next level.



Hellz Yea.

This type of stuff

Should be expected every offseason. That being said, this rings more true than most of the stuff you hear around this time of year. If Jefferson and the line live up to the hype…look out.

Hope

I have to admit I’m still not sold on Jefferson. Never have been and have never said much here. I just don’t think he has what it takes but I truely hope I can come back here in Jan. and laugh at my post. This is my hope.

Shepard and Jefferson

Do you think part of the reason Shep gave up his QB dreams was because of his relationship with Jefferson? Obviously he believes in JJ as the QB of this team, and it seems like he knows him pretty well. Do you think he’d switch to receiver if he didn’t think JJ would get him the ball?

I think Shepard realizes that his path to the NFL is not at QB

He is more valuable to this team as a WR/wildcat QB than he would be as an every down signal caller.

He has tremendous talent. If he is commited in the weight room, film room, and on the practice field, he can do great things at LSU.

Great quotes to read

Too many times in the past, I have seen what a lack of confidence in the QB can do to the other players on offense.
