KJ Jefferson’s start to the season for Arkansas could not have been much better.
The Hogs junior has the best combination of running and passing ability in the entire league. Maybe the entire country. He isn’t the absolute best in either, but few can do either better, too.
But where does he find himself in ESPN’s Total QBR?
About where he should be, actually. Jefferson actually slots in at No. 4, behind the reigning Heisman Trophy winner, the reigning national champion and, well, a surprise player at the very top.
It’s a rare case of the eye-test matching the analytics. The truth is, however, if Jefferson continues playing at this rate, Arkansas is in for a whale of a season.
