UCF quarterback KJ Jefferson caught the media’s attention when it was released that he had a picture of Shedeur Sanders hanging up in his locker.
However, it seems as if Jefferson is using this picture as motivation since it states a quote from Skip Bayless: “He’s not just the best QB in the Big 12 Conference, but he’s the best QB in the country.”
There are definitely some high expectations for Colorado, even though the team placed last in the Pac-12 in 2023 with a record of 4-8.
CBS Sports reports that Jefferson said, “I was just looking for some in-house motivation to make sure that I have a competitive edge and making sure that I’m going into each situation, each day, each practice, each film study, each OTA with a competitive edge and the chip on my shoulder.”
The 6-foot-3 quarterback has the utmost respect for Sanders, who threw for 27 touchdowns last season since he acknowledges that “Shedeur’s a dog for sure. We’re going to see him (this season), and it’ll be a blessing.”
Before transferring to the Knights this offseason, Jefferson played last year with the Arkansas Razorbacks and threw for 2,107 yards and 19 touchdowns.
The former Razorback is a threat through the ground game as well, rushing for 447 yards last year.
