247 Evaluation TIFWIW
Evaluation

Athletic wide receiver frame with the size to play on the outside, be a factor as a blocker and shrug off tacklers as a runner. Above average athlete with twitch to his game. Hasn’t posted elite speed times but has shown top end explosive testing with vertical and long jumps. Plays with toughness after the catch, fighting for yardage. Brings value in the return game. More athlete than receiver right now. Regularly lets the ball into his body. Limited route-tree with a lot of hitch and screen catches. Needs refinement but has the body type and athletic profile to emerge as a productive Power Five starter with NFL potential.

That evaluation sounds a lot more Henry Ruggs like (minus the speed) than it does Jeudy. What makes Jeudy so good is his technical ability as a WR, particularly in his routes. Ruggs was much more of an athlete playing WR, and will need some route refinement as a pro, but GMs and scouts are salivating over the idea that he may be the next Tyreek Hill and banking on him being able to learn to be a better receiver. You can't teach a guy to be a better athlete.

Y’all this is basically jennings’ combine report. He’s a white jennings. LFG.

Based on junior season highlights looks like all he needs is a quarterback that can put the ball in the right place. Looks like he would be a good get.

If not WR, sounds like he would excel at TE.
