KJ Jefferson isn’t just one of the best returning quarterbacks in the SEC, he’s one of the best in the nation.
Arkansas’ rising junior quarterback is undoubtedly the most important player on the team this year. He threw for 2,676 yards and 21 touchdowns last year with just four interceptions. On the ground, he tallied another 664 yards rushing to lead the team and had six touchdowns, too.
Jefferson is a bona fide star. But expect the kid-glove treatment during spring ball over the next couple weeks. Arkansas does not have a ton of experienced depth behind him.
