Physically? No. I think when he gets to the combine he will test as an average athlete at best. I don't expect to see a very fast 40 or a high vertical jump. Also I wouldn't say Jauan's skills as a receiver in terms of hands or route running are elite. He double catches a lot of balls and doesn't possess natural hands.
With that said, Jauan is a dog and I wouldn't trade him for any other receiver in the country. Not even Antonio Callaway, who I think is vastly more talented and will be the better NFL player. There is just something about having a gritty competitor like Jauan Jennings that is totally invaluable on this football team.
Jauan Jennings is the heart and soul of this team and I have a feeling he's gonna lead us to a championship this year.
I'm not sure what he'll run in the 40 but earlier you said that's long range speed and that the vertical is more of an explosive measure.
I hope you've watched Jauan's basketball games because the man was throwing down monster dunks. So I'm expecting a good vertical. Which means he's explosive which some equate to being a good athlete.
don't think he's saying that...
Jauan is a really good athlete....but, he's a better competitor than he is silky smooth athlete...
I'd take jauan all day over silky smooth, but palmer does look very fluid in the routes videotaped recently....
Palmer looks graceful...without much effort...more so than jauan...
Let's see how it translates to saturday's...
Again, i'd take competitor over athlete all day...
Little factoid.
Apparently JK thought seriously about a professional skate boarding career. He was very good. His Football coaches convinced him he had NFL talent though.

Malone was more of a long range speed kind of guy than someone who was explosive. Just look at his vertical leap numbers at the combine and compare them to someone like Alvin Kamara who had a slower 40.
IMO 40 time is a measure of long-range speed. The vertical jump and broad jump are measures of explosiveness.
Alvin Kamara = explosive but not fast
Josh Malone = fast but not explosive
Julio Jones = fast and explosive
That's rich coming from you.. ��*♂️
Right. I disagree with people because I've reasoned the facts we have and draw a conclusion. D4H thinks his opinions are the facts and if the facts seem to conflict with his opinions... the facts have to be re-shaped.
There are not many people here who have admitted they were wrong about an opinion or facts on this board. I'm one of them. I've had the same screen name for 11 years. I've been right and wrong many times... I'm not running from either.
