Exactly. Jefferson as a rookie WR was only 16 yards behind Kelce's record setting (for a TE) season.
A truly great TE is just never going to be able to keep pace with a truly great WR, statistically. There have been 9 TEs drafted in the first round since 2010. Combined they have a total of 0 seasons of >750 receiving yards. There's multiple Pro Bowlers in that 9, so it's not like they are all busts or anything.... but can you imagine if for 11 years, there were 0 1st round WRs who had a >750 season? It's unimaginable.
