Jordan Reed Scouting Report: NFL Prospect for Texas TE

Jordan Reed's introduction whilst the prime pass-catcher for the Florida Gators has caught the eyes of several. A former alternative quarterback, he displays an excellent amount of athleticism with the ball in his arms. He will probably never be a true on-the-line tight result in theANFL, but his knowledge and ability detaching from the development and working in area should show very beneficial for just about any group prepared to use him creatively. Total Benefits + Dangerous with the ball in his arms + Frame to carry more weight + Ability to split up out as a device Total Flaws - Lacks power and size - Technique and energy as a blocker need progress - Insufficient height may limit red-zone production and inline potential Draft Projection 2nd day Most readily useful Staff Fits KC, JAX, SD, CAR, GB, HOU, ATL Resources ( - ) Peak Fat Supply Duration 40 Time 6a2a 236 pounds 33a 4.72 Reed is wide-hipped but relatively lacks plenty of muscle and definition in his extremities, suggesting he could continue steadily to add size and strength without losing any speed or speed (Iad actually argue thereas a solid chance of him adding a little more explosiveness to his game as he gets stronger). By today however, Reed is both undersized and not particularly intense. His athleticism after the catch and ability to remove from the creation and line up as a broad receiver will more than likely draw many comparisons to his Gator small end predecessor, Aaron Hernandez. Hernandez, however, was an exceptional athlete at a larger size. Reed's size, part and uniform may cause many to draw comparisons to Aaron HernandezSam Greenwood/Getty Images Process Option system was spread by an option quarterback in high school, Reed split time between quarterback and tight end inAUrban Meyeras in 2010. After Meyer left in 2011 and Will Muschamp was appointed as head coach, his permanent home was found by Reed as a aJokera tight end. Heall line up at the original tight end position, as a wingback, a position receiver or external receiver. Character/Intangibles No known arrests or suspensions. Launch ( + ) Texas loved dividing Reed out as a device, and he'll likely do the same early in his NFL career. Since itas unlikely that Reed will be playing much inline small end, an NFL team will be able to move him around wonderfully to have him matched up on smaller defenders who wonat hold him up at the line of scrimmage. The agility have been shown by him to provide stutter-steps off the line, pushing the defensive back again to go his sides and open the door, when divided out. Paths Because of the limits of his quarterbacks over the last two seasons, Reed has not been afforded the chance to operate three to a really diverse path. He does the majority of his harm on short crosses, stay routes and corner routes. Where he is able to use his running skills to pick up yards in space, California also wants to get him the ball on display moves. Hands/Ball Skills ( + ) Reed fighting through a jam at the line of scrimmage and through the quarterback's struggle. Reed shows excellent human body get a handle on in the air. He has shown the ability to contort his body and make tough grabs while contesting defensive backs at the catch level. He also shows good sideline recognition, constantly showing that he can come down with his feet in bounds. He makes an attempt to regulate to badly thrown balls, catch with his arms extended far from his body and does a great job overall of perhaps not allowing the ball enter his chest. He's a whole lot more aggressive opting for the ball when detached from the formation and working along the perimeter in space. Reed rises in the air to produce a competitive catch. Pursue Catch ( + ) Acrobatic and agile after the hook, Reedas back ground being an option quarterback really shines when heas able to have the ball in place. He features amazing stop/start capacity and the vision to sort out trash on monitors. He isnat quite as volatile as Hernandez was coming out of Florida, but Reed remains a good athlete and is dangerous with the ball in his arms. Reed has a bad habit of not securing the ball in to his human anatomy while running in the open field, outlined by his most popular play of the seasona'fumbling while jumping for a go-ahead score against Georgia. Preventing ( - ) Reed shows off his YAC skills, while eluding defenders after a two-yard flat pass picking up a large amount of yardage. Reed lacks the energy to support blocks and his attempt is mediocre against front-seven participants. He puts his head down, lunges, stops his feet and doesnat move his hips through contact when one-on-one. However, he'll get his legs and give great work when his tandem gets movement on a double-team. He will mix it up with defensive shells when separate out as a wide receiver, and on big run plays key blocks are made by him down the field often. As a, he plays with too large of a foundation and overextends herself, which makes it difficult to recoup against he was set by pass-rushers up. He is also vulnerable to playing too tall and getting bull-rushed in the move and run game. Future Role/Versatility As he continues to add more muscle and get stronger Reed will likely be a part-time contributor in his first couple of years. But, his athleticism, ball skills and experience lining up and removing from the formation as a large receiver will make him a stimulating game piece and will give him a position to help relieve into until he becomes a full-time person. Heas not exactly Aaron Hernandez, but theyare much the same participants.
