Scouting Report: Strengths
- Jeanty aggressively finishes runs and consistently falls forward in a crowd. His low pad level and a bit of wiggle keep him from absorbing big hits.
- He’s at his best working in space, showing the quickness and vision of a return specialist. His stop-start ability allows him to create initial separation.
- He’s a quality receiver with soft hands, and Jeanty shows a good feel for catching and transitioning upfield in the screen game.
- He is a natural playmaker, at his best with the ball in his hands.
- Possesses quick feet and straight-line speed but doesn't have the elite burst to be a constant big-play threat. Improving patience as a runner, following pulling guards and makes good decisions on his cut.
- He shows good vision and good explosion upfield once he plants his foot. He has lateral movement skills and enough speed to threaten big plays. He’s excellent in the passing game, capable of flexing out as a receiver and creating mismatches against linebackers, and he’s a solid back in the screen game.
- Jeanty shows decent burst and straight-line speed to turn in big plays.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
- Short and lacks the ideal powerful frame to consistently run between the tackles.
- As a runner, Jeanty too often looks to bounce outside and make the big play, rather than pick his way through traffic.
- Too indecisive and hesitant at the line of scrimmage.
