Draft Profile: Bio
Jaray Jenkins from Jena High School was rated a 4-star recruit by ESPN and handed a 3-star grade by 247 Sports. After high school, Jenkins opted to join LSU.

In 2019 as a freshman Jenkins saw action in 7 games for the Tigers as he made 5 receptions for just 67 yards for an average of 13.4 yards per reception, with no TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 101.5.

As a sophomore in 2020 he played 10 games and had 23 catches for 397 yards for an average of 17.3 yards per catch, with 2 TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 108.2.

As a junior in 2021 he played 13 games and hauled in 34 catches for 502 yards for an average of 14.8 yards per catch, with 6 TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 124.9.

As a senior in 2022 he played 13 games and had 27 catches for 404 yards for an average of 15.0 yards per catch, 6 TDs, and an excellent QB rating when targeted of 140.0.
Scouting Report: Strengths
  • He’s a fluid athlete with excellent short-area quickness; Jenkins should be able to create separation, and he has the straight-line speed to threaten down the seam.
  • Has long arms to stiff-arm defensive backs in the open field. Willing to lower his pads to run through tackles for extra yardage. Goes over the middle, can spin out of tackles and take the big hit.
  • Jenkins also proved to be a force in catch-and-run situations. A violent runner who transitions upfield quickly after the catch, he has the speed to pick up chunks of yardage once he’s broken the first tackle.
  • Jenkins has reliable hands and shows the willingness to make catches in traffic over the middle.
  • Goes up high for jump balls. Good flexibility and reach to snatch back-shoulder throws.
  • Has the strong hands any NFL wide receiver coach and quarterback would covet. Tracks the deep ball over either shoulder and brings in passes fluidly without breaking stride downfield.
Scouting Report: Weaknesses
  • Jenkins seems comfortable in traffic to the point where Jenkins doesn’t make the effort to create separation.
  • He’ll have to develop a better feel for sitting down against zone coverage.
  • Inconsistent high-pointing passes. Allows too many throws into his body when facing the quarterback.

*Percentile Ranking in Player's Position Group (NFL Combine Historical Data): This percentile reflects how a player's specific statistics rank in comparison to historical performances at the NFL Combine, specifically within their position group. A higher percentile indicates a better performance. For instance, being in the 90th percentile for a particular stat means the player outperformed 90% of their peers in that category.

*Similarity Percentage: This percentage is calculated based on a comprehensive analysis of various factors, including height, weight, 40-yard dash times, on-field performance statistics, and overall player rating. The analysis is conducted against our database of draft prospects from 2021 to 2023. This similarity score helps in evaluating how closely a current prospect aligns with past prospects. It is important to note, however, that this score reflects similarities based on college production and attributes, and does not account for eventual success or performance in the NFL.
