Jadan Blue WR Temple | NFL Draft 2022 Scouting Report

Strengths

• Does not have exceptional straight-line speed but takes advantage of open seams when his quarterback is on target.
• Has very good initial burst to beat coverage at the line of scrimmage with the quick-twitch moves to redirect in any direction and create separation.
• Balanced, savvy route runner with top field awareness, setting up and selling routes beautifully.
• A savvy, natural pass-catcher with reliable hands and very good focus. Snatches the ball out of the air and shows the concentration to make acrobatic catches look easy.
• Has elite balance tight-roping the sideline and in-and-out of his breaks, showing excellent start-stop ability and burst.
• Very good hands, accepts the ball fluidly on most throws and is ready to make a play afterward. Makes catches in traffic, even going up over taller defenders with vertical and toughness.
• Shows quickness off the snap to shake off corners and create room. Separates with hesitation moves and nice acceleration.
• Does a nice job locating and tracking deep passes and is a legitimate vertical threat. Willing to go up and attack the ball.

Weaknesses

• Has only average height and overall length. Lacks initial burst off the line of scrimmage and has more build-up speed than track wheels. Limited explosiveness and flexibility and will struggle to separate against pro defensive backs
• Doesn't have the size to consistently win on the outside, but can be productive working the middle of the field and as a return man.
