My, times sure have changed.
Actually, wait. No. Not really. They’re basically the same. The people who create the preseason SEC quarterback rankings just didn’t make a foolish mistake this year.
Perhaps you recall about this time three years when the folks over at 247Sports listed Arkansas quarterback KJ Jefferson as the 14th best quarterback in the 14-team conference. Now, those of us in Fayetteville knew that was ridiculous, though, to be fair, he was a freshman with limited experience, so they didn’t know as much as those who follow the team.
But still.
Anyway, that’s since, of course, been fixed. Jefferson checked in at No. 2 last year in the same rankings. And now, here in mid-July, 247Sports has Jefferson rated as the top quarterback in the SEC.
To that, we say deserved, even if it is a bit of surprise. For comparison’s sake, here’s how we rate them Razorbacks Wire.
