Velltray Jefferson

A few weeks after signing, he had posted on Twitter about being cool with moving to offense.  He projected as a DE, LB, or TE.  We have some good young talent at all of those positions, and maybe he just realized that he may have a harder time getting early playing time.  Or maybe he just decided that defense was a better path for him, and he balked on the idea of Utah trying to change him to TE after signing?  It’s hard to know.

The upside is that it opens up and initial AND we have depth at the positions that he was projected to play.  It’s still a bummer because he’s an athlete, but hopefully Utah can do something with that initial that more directly takes care of an area of need. 

Could this be a move to snag To’o To’o??

Might be he will not work that hard as needed………

I think this is a VERY unfair assumption to make (unless you are basing that off knowledge you have). These guys are just kids, there is a lot rolling through their head at this age. Could be a bunch of things, I hope he makes the best decision for himself either way. 

The only WR I have seen have trouble getting separation is Enis. The WR were solid to good against even top P12 competition with Huntley at QB. Quarterbacking and OL were the issue in 2020, not WR.

Between Covey, Thompson, and Kuithe, you can’t say that we don’t have good threats. Enis is a great blocker, but seems to struggle to find separation, and is more of a physical possession receiver that we don’t seem to utilize. In my opinion I think Thompson is great and has NFL potential, but is sadly on a team that doesn’t send WR’s to the NFL. He had to become the deep threat after Dixon left, and I would like to see him utilized more in the 10-15 yard range. I would not judge the WR’s on games where Bentley was the QB. Although we could definitely use depth at the position, because we’re unproven after those guys. I like Nacua, and would love to see Money Parks and Makai Cope used next year, but we need another guy in the mix.
