More on Jeffers, as promised.

This is a stupid move. Let's say he wants the ball thrown to him more considering the Huskies ran about 60 percent of the time. That's a fair enough request on the surface, but he was the team's leading receiver in both receptions and yards. He also dropped a lot of passes. In my estimation, had he caught half of the passes he dropped, he might have approached 800 yards -- not a bad total.

So he has two years left, decides that the two quarterbacks who will likely be throwing to him, Tyler Lorenzen and Zach Fraser, aren't going to do the trick so he should leave. He wants to play at Vandy. Right.

I get it, play at another BCS school where you'll win less but get thrown to more. That also means he'll drop more passes.

He says he's underutilized. Why doesn't Jeffers have this talk with his hands. Maybe 'ol righty and lefty need to transfer instead.

This is no less than one of two things: Jeffers being selfish and/or Jeffers thinking playing elsewhere will help his NFL aspirations. I hate to be the one to break it to the kid -- he's a nice one at that -- this is selfish and he isn't going to the NFL.
