The other players selected, in order, were: Steelers quarterback Ben Roethlisberger, Browns defensive end Myles Garrett, Steelers outside linebacker T.J. Watt, and Browns wide receiver Odell Beckham Jr.
Tony Jefferson Still Unsigned Due to Current Climate
Tony Jefferson was released by the Ravens in mid-February, yet the 28-year-old safety remains unsigned. About six months removed from having surgery to repair a torn ACL and LCL in his left knee, Jefferson's situation – like other free agents – has been affected by the COVID-19 pandemic.
"I was really getting into a groove with my workouts and my rehab," Jefferson told The Athletic's Jeff Zrebiec. "I was really turning the corner and then, this comes."
Due to a stay-at-home order in California, where Jefferson lives, he has had to work out at his home rather than at a training facility or rehab center.
"A veteran of seven NFL seasons, Jefferson has garnered interest from several teams looking for a starting safety," Zrebiec wrote. "The interest, however, comes with a caveat. Teams want their doctors to evaluate Jefferson's surgically-repaired knee and gauge his progress before committing to a deal.
"That's impossible in this climate, with team doctors not allowed to travel to conduct examinations and team facilities closed to players needing to take physicals. So Jefferson waits, confident that it will all work out in the end and focusing on the things that matter," such as spending time with his family.
Jefferson said he expects to be ready for the start of training camp, which is scheduled for late July, although no one knows if it will start on time.
"The draft is going to happen and I'm not sure what will transpire between teams and who they'll pick and whether they're waiting on me. But I would still feel comfortable," Jefferson said. "At that point, I'd probably just be close to getting cleared anyways. They would know that they're getting a healthy me and we'll just roll with it that way. I'm not really worried about it. I know my play, and I know what I can do."
