STRENGTHS
Jahan reminds me a lot of the Bills receiver Stephon Diggs. This kid has the eye/hand coordination to catch a June bug as it flies by him. He has a big catch radius to go along with intelligent route running talent. He is smart and can be lined up at any one of the receiver positions. Jahan has the toughness to make those difficult contested catches and move the chains on third downs. He can play in the slot like Jarvis Landry but as I stated before when he plays on the outside he reminds me a lot of Stephon because of his ability to get off the line and his slippery route-running skills. Jahan knows where he is on the field and the down and distance at all times and this will make him very valuable to a quarterback and the play-caller at the most crucial times in a game.
CONCERNS
Let the nitpicking begins, what about his size? What about how big his hands are? What about if he stole a candy bar when he was in the 3rd grade? Size matters when it comes to the draft but once the game starts, production is the only thing that matters. Jahan will not break that many tackles after he catches the ball but he will fight for 1st downs when needed and that truly is all that matters with RAC stats to me.
BOTTOM LINE 1.69
Like Stephon Diggs, Jahan knows when it is most important to gain yards after the catch and when it is important to take what you can get, and go down to avoid injury. That intelligence makes him very dependable and keeps him from injuries. Catching the ball, and football intelligence is the key to being an effective and impact receiver in the NFL. Add to that dependability and trust and you have yourself a pro bowl receiver no matter what his size is. Trust me, knowing that he might have stolen a peanut butter and jelly sandwich when he was in grammar school, really is not part of the process. All you need to know is that Jahan is a playmaker and has the competitive nature and the needed athleticism to run your passing game through him…that’s all you really need to know.
