STRENGTHS
JJ is a touch down maker. He has excellent size and is quicker than he looks in a small space. He does an excellent job using his body to shield smaller players from the ball and is a master at catching contested passes in the red zone. He will move the chains and can catch the ball deep down the field, picking up yardage in chunks. Although he doesn’t have quick speed he does have long speed to get down the field and has a big catch radius. He does a good job blocking and with his strong hands to catch the ball is fearless going over the middle making the difficult catch look easy. JJ is a big body receiver who can play in the slot, block like an H-back and be used as a wideout inside the red zone to score touchdowns. He has talent similar to Anquan Boldin. (Look him up, I can’t do everything)
CONCERNS
He has talent to run routes better than he does but relies too much on running his routes and using his body to shield his defender to catch the ball. He has to trust his quickness more than he does, learn to set up defenders and get in and out of breaks to separate better. He has the talent but like I said relies too much on his basketball skills to defeat his opponent.
TALENT BOARD ROUND 2.06
JJ has the athletic talent to run better routes he just doesn’t believe it but when he does, he will become a weapon on offense that will be hard to stop. He is so used to using his body to shield his defender from the ball he has become lazy and hasn’t worked on running routes with more authority. He has to become more of a student of the route running game. He has the desire and ability but until he runs better routes he will struggle at the next level because those corners and safeties are just as big and as physical as he is. JJ is smart and he will learn to run better routes and to use his natural quickness when he runs his routes. He has long speed and can catch the ball anyplace on the field and like I stated before, is fearless going over the middle. His passion to be an impact player is another one of his attributes that shows up on film when I watch him. I believe this kid will be an impact receiver, just give him some time to adjust and become a student of running routes. Until then you can use him in the red zone to score touchdowns and that alone will make him an impact player for your offense.
