Positives -- Huge body, is capable of shielding even the biggest corners from the ball... A great red zone target due to his size and leaping ability... Smooth athlete who makes some of the toughest catches look routine... Special player down the field, has great body control and a terrific vertical leap... Has a huge catch radius, throw the ball anywhere around him and he'll make a play on it... A load to bring down when he gets to full speed, has some run after the catch ability... Has the size and strength to be a good run blocker, should continue to develop in this area in the NFL... Has massive hands, can make the circus catch and one handed grabs... Ended his career on a high note by putting up 148 yards in three quarters against Nebraska in the Capital One Bowl, including a 51-yard Hail Mary catch for a touchdown at the end of the first half... Drop off in production may not be a full reflection on him, South Carolina had some atrocious quarterback play and their star running back, Marcus Lattimore went out for the year with an injury so teams were focused on stopping Jeffery.
Negatives -- At South Carolina was mostly asked to run vertical routes and doesn't have a developed route tree... Fails to gain separation at the collegiate level on underneath routes and with double moves... Has some problems with press coverage, doesn't have quick feet off the line and will let corners get into his body which will knock him off his routes... A long strider with good build up speed but lacks initial quickness... Will let the ball get into his body, doesn't always attack the football with his hands... Production fell off completely from his sophomore to junior season, went from 88 receptions, 1,517 yards and nine touchdowns down to 49, 762, and eight and he did play in every single game as a junior... Still very raw, tough to tell if he's the next Calvin Johnson or if he'll be the next Mike/Reggie Williams, will be very dependent on his work ethic and the offense he falls into... Considering how talented he is, he should have stood out more during his junior season, failed to make an impact in most of South Carolina's games... Was ejected in South Carolina's bowl game vs. Nebraska for retaliating after Alfonzo Dennard threw a punch during a scuffle.
