Jeremy Ruckert TE Ohio St

STRENGTHS
Jeremy is a pass-catching monster who reminds me of Travis Kelce and if selected by the right team WILL have an impact as Travis has had in the NFL. His catch radius and ability to catch contested passes is outstanding. His feel to run routes and get open is outstanding. He is a good blocker and takes pride in his blocking and is willing to block. Jeremy shows leadership skills in the fact he is willing to block and not be the main receiver in this offense. He has the lateral agility and quick feet to pass block, and block in the open field. His ability to block with his hand down for the run game is good because he is quick off the snap and keeps his feet moving after he engages. If the team that selects him realizes his overall talent in the passing game then Jeremy will be an impact player just like Travis Kelce.

CONCERNS
Jeremy is one of those players hiding in plain sight. A sleeper hiding in a big-time program. He will improve his route running and get stronger if you give him a chance. Jeremy is a complete Tight End. Jeremy might get lost in the shuffle, when compared against those pass-catching Tight Ends and other receivers who the fans and offensive coordinators seem to prefer.

BOTTOM LINE 1.86
If he is selected by the right team, Jeremy will be the next Travis Kelce. That being said if he is used the way his college team used him this year, as just a blocker, then most fans will not see much of an impact in the passing game and that will be a crime. Jeremy has 1st Rd talent because of his ability to catch the ball and to block in all phases of the game. But as we all know, a player who is not used in the passing game at the college level, will most likely not be selected in the 1st round. In most cases, it will be the 3rd round or even later. I believe that might change for Jeremy once he starts to work out at the Senior Bowl. The Scouts know this kid is special, trust me. I know this kid can be special and believe me after the senior bowl practices many more will know it too. I don’t have a clue what round Jeremy will be selected and that’s why we invented the 2-board system so you can see the possibilities of a player selected in the later rounds. I believe with the right team who throws to the Tight End that Jeremy will be the impact player Travis Kelce is. As far as I’m concerned…Those are the facts of his talent and they are undisrupted.
