KJ Jefferson looks eerily similar to Cam… BUILD wise. Throwing motion is also very close. And he’s balling.

KJ Jefferson has a lot of Cam Newton in him. #Arkansas

In the first half against the stout Aggies defense, Jefferson threw for 202 yards, 2 touchdowns and 0 interceptions. He also ran 3 times for 18 yards.
We’ll see if he can lead the Hogs to the upset of the Aggies in the second half in a win that would surely make Newton proud.
