Alshon Jeffery isn’t Pumping Gas, Someone Should Notify Lane Kiffin

http://thebiglead.com/2013/12/10/alshon-jeffery-isnt-pumping-gas-someone-should-notify-lane-kiffin/

Alshon Jeffery, the seventh wide receiver taken in the 2012 NFL draft, had a relatively quiet rookie year – 367 yards, three touchdowns – but he’s exploded this season as perhaps the best No. 2 receiver in the league. Playing second fiddle to Brandon Marshall, the 6-foot-3 Jeffery ranks in the Top 10 in the league in receptions (7th), yards (5th) and yards-per-catch (7th).

So this seems like an ideal time to remind unemployed football coach Lane Kiffin that no, Alshon Jeffery is not pumping gas. This is from an excellent story in 2009, when Kiffin was trying to recruit Jeffery to attend Tennessee:

Kiffin was equally dogged. But when it was obvious that Jeffery wasn’t going to Tennessee, Kiffin took off the gloves.

According to Jeffrey and Wilson, Kiffin told Jeffery that if he chose the Gamecocks, he would end up pumping gas for the rest of his life like all the other players from that state who had gone to South Carolina.

Jeffery was doing his best to stay awake at that point, but that comment from Kiffin woke him up. He clearly hasn’t forgotten it, either.


Jeffery picked South Carolina, and had a strong career with the Gamecocks.

...and we're looking at the #2 overall pick in 2014 as a final parting gift from this trade with the Redskins sitting at 3-12.

M.Brockers-solid starter
I.Pead-head case and looks like a bust
R.Watkins-bust
J.Jenkins-solid starter
A.Ogletree-solid starter
S.Bailey-showing upside
Z.Stacy-solid starter

Here's how it was done...http://espn.go.com/blog/statsinfo/post/_/id/80837/rams-got-a-haul-in-rgiii-trade

Washington wins since trade = 13
St Louis wins since trade = 14
Pretty close in terms of wins,but you have to factor in that:
A) Rams were a mess and picking 2nd overall two yrs ago at the time of this trade.
B) Washington is a mess today and still has no 2014 1st rd pick.

Oops. :)
