"You've got guys around you creating chaos. [It helps] being able to stay poised, stay calm and stay locked onto the target." Jefferson has been a consistently accurate deep-ball passer. According to Pro Football Focus, he completed 17 of 40 (42.5%) passes 20 yards or more downfield, and 45 of 81 (55.6%) passes 10 to 19 yards downfield last season. ose figures contributed to PFF ratings of 91.6 and 88.7, respectively, on a scale of 1 to 100. Enos said he sees solid play in all aspects of Jefferson's passing game, including the short and intermediate throws. During the second week of the preseason, Pittman recalled a day when Jefferson's accuracy during a practice was the best he has seen in their four seasons working together. "Just crazy accuracy," Pittman said of the Aug. 11 practice. Better footwork might assist Jefferson's dual-threat ability. He has passed for more than 2,600 yards and rushed for more than 600 yards in each of his seasons as a starter. "His ability to slightly move in the pocket and get him in the right areas is going to help his ability to take off and go," Enos said, "or take off and find somebody down the field as well." e run-pass option element of Arkansas' offense won't change under Enos. It is an area in which Jefferson has excelled during his years as a starter.

Enos, who was the Razorbacks' offensive coordinator from 2015-17, developed a taste for the RPO in the time aer he le Fayetteville. He ran an RPO-based offense the past two seasons at Maryland, where quarterback Taulia Tagovailoa set numerous single-season offensive records a year ago. "Dan has always — whether it be at Alabama or whether it be at Maryland — ran an offense around their personnel and their talents," Pittman said, "and that all starts, in my opinion, at quarterback."
