Athleticism:

Jeffery may be the most physical imposing receiver I have ever seen. Incredibly big and strong and uses it to his advantage well. The biggest drawback of course is his speed. Doesn’t have a great burst and his top end speed isn’t fast enough to get by NFL corners. Great vertical and times his jumps well to go and get the football. Looks almost fat and out of shape and might have issues controlling his weight.

Grade: 2.0

Hands:

Jeffery has a tremendous pair of hands. Can catch almost anything thrown his way. Huge catch radius. Can pluck the ball away from his frame easily and effortlessly. Works across the middle and will hang onto the ball when taking hits. Tends to body catch a lot in traffic but doesn’t have an issue with drops. Shows tremendous concentration as he routinely makes tough circus catches in tight coverage.

Grade: 5.0

After Catch:

Not a shifty guy and won’t run by many NFL defenders. Tough to tackle because of his size and strength. Will be a nightmare for some smaller corners but sound corners should be able to bring him down with no problems. Lacks the speed and agility to take short passes the distance.

Grade: 2.5

Route Running:

Very poor route runner. By far his biggest issue and could make or break his ability to be a great NFL player. Very lazy route runner. Doesn’t make sharp cuts and tips his hand too early allowing corners to close in easily. Lacks the burst in and out of cuts to create separation consistently and relies on simply over-powering smaller defenders. Gets most of his separation from fakes and varying his route speed but can’t do so consistently. Almost always pushes off the defender and will have a lot of trouble with pass interference in the NFL unless that is coached out of him. Will jog some of his routes and almost looks disinterested at times.

Grade: 1.0

Blocking:

Has the potential to be a terrific blocker due to his combination of size and strength. Lacks the technique to stay engaged and drive his man away from the play. Seems to give up too early and doesn’t always give great effort as a blocker.

Grade: 2.5

Intangibles:

Was an absolute beast in 2010 but has been awful thus far in 2011. Poor quarterback play has had an effect but truly elite receivers can still produce (Calvin Johnson). Had a 4 game stretch where he couldn’t break 24 yards which is inexcusable. Regarded as a hard worker who always works at improving his game but still has a lot of question marks and red flags that pop out to me. He was borderline fat this summer and was completely out of shape. Has cut a lot of weight in the off-season and has in fact worked hard to lose the weight. Has never had any major injury concerns but does get banged up from time to time as he takes a lot of hits.

Grade: 2.0

Outlook:

A boom or bust prospect if I ever saw one. Has elite hands but will struggle mightily to create separation in the NFL. Has gotten by in college by simply over-powering smaller defenders. That won’t be too successful in the NFL. As I mentioned earlier there are quite a few red flags surrounding him. Certainly not a guy I would feel comfortable taking in the first round let alone the Top 10 where he is currently projected. Some compare him to Brandon Marshall or Andre Johnson, but he can easily be the next Mike Williams, Dwayne Jarrett or Reggie Williams.
