Look at the numbers’: Lions host claims Amon-Ra St. Brown is ahead of Justin Jefferson

The NFL offseason hasn’t even officially begun and already we’re reaching peak ‘offseason takes’ season.

Neal Ruhl of Woodward Sports Network had the hot take Monday that Lions receiver Amon-Ra St. Brown is “further ahead of almost any wide receiver ever” including Justin Jefferson, at this point in his career.

“Amon-Ra St. Brown at this point in his career is further ahead of almost any wide receiver ever. Ever,” Ruhl said. “Like, this Justin Jefferson that you all love and worship, he’s further along at this point in his career. Look at the numbers.”

It’s, uh, not even close. Jefferson had 1,237 more yards than St. Brown at the conclusion of their respective third seasons. Jefferson’s 96.5 yards per game is far superior to St. Brown’s 73.2 per game.

In fact Jefferson broke records for his first three seasons. Records that belonged to Odell Beckham Jr. and Randy Moss. Jefferson’s 324 receptions, 4,825 yards and 96.5 yards per game are the most in NFL history by anyone over the first three seasons of their career.
