Vikings’ Justin Jefferson has a wild Shedeur Sanders take image

Everyone is still weighing in on Shedeur Sanders' NFL Draft free fall to pick 144 and the Cleveland Browns.

That includes Minnesota Vikings superstar wide receiver Justin Jefferson.

He spoke with Bleacher Report recently to share his opinion.

"I definitely thought that he should've been drafted in the first or second round," Jefferson said. 

He also explained how this could be motivating for Shedeur.

"It's just more fire for him and more chip on his shoulder that he can use going into the league," Jefferson said.

That's definitely something many have agreed upon.

Sanders will have the motivation he needs. It's not clear if that will push him to major heights or not. But he'll definitely have the source.

Jefferson was a first-round pick and doesn't know what a draft slide is like. 

Sanders dropped so far that it became an open question whether he would go undrafted.

That didn't happen, but the drop was so severe that it left all sorts of people not into the idea of him as a strong NFL quarterback.

Jefferson appears to think Shedeur will be, though, and maybe that counts more than the rest.
