Former Florida Gators continue to fill the fans’ Twitter feeds with excellent plays in the professional ranks this Sunday. Rookie receiver Van Jefferson, who made an amazing haul last week for his first career NFL catch, has continued his brilliance in his second game in the league with the Los Angeles Rams.
In the first quarter of Sunday’s game against the Philadelphia Eagles, Jefferson made an impressive sliding 21-yard gain on a pass from quarterback Jared Goff which took his team down to the 5-yard line. Los Angeles scored two plays later, along with a successful PAT by kicker Samuel Sloman, to up their lead to 14-3 with the clock winding down on the first frame.
