STRENGTHS
Jalin is a “move receiver” with excellent speed, when lined up in the slot or on the move he becomes a mismatch. Jalin can sell the short routes because he is a deep threat and teams have to give him big cushions off the line of scrimmage. Jalin shows good hands to catch the deep ball and that is what he brings to the next level. He is a weapon when a team needs to throw deep and will force teams to add defensive backs to their game plans. Jalin has the ability to impact a game and make a big play at any point in a game without too many touches.
CONCERNS
Jalin will need to bulk up if he wants to be a top receiver in the NFL. He will also have to prove he can catch contested passes and handle “in-your-face”, physical corners who will challenge him at the line of scrimmage. He has to prove that he is more than just a specialty receiver who at this point is very one-dimensional. Nevertheless, he has proven that he can catch the uncontested deep ball and teams will be impressed with that ability no doubt.
BOTTOM LINE: 3.89
Jalin has the talent to play at the next level but he also has a lot to prove if he wants to stay at the next level and become more than just a one-dimensional receiver. That won’t happen until he is selected and can prove it during a 17-game season. I hope he does want to be more than just a specialty player because there is enough talent to develop for sure.
