Los Angeles Rams wide receiver Van Jefferson is poised for a significant role in the upcoming 2023 season.

Despite being limited to 11 games due to injury in the 2021 Super Bowl-winning season, Jefferson showcased his potential with an impressive 802 receiving yards and six touchdowns.

However, his playing time was restricted in 2022, recording 24 receptions for 369 yards and three touchdowns.

Nonetheless, quarterback Matthew Stafford and the Rams are optimistic about Jefferson's impact and believe their chemistry will improve with more practice reps.

With Jefferson entering a crucial season as a free agent, he aims to make a strong comeback and prove his value to the team alongside All-Pro receiver Cooper Kupp.

If he remains healthy, Jefferson could be a vital asset to the offense.
