Kearis Jackson WR Georgia Scouting Report

Strengths

• Does not possess top breakaway speed, though he's rarely caught from behind.
• Balanced, savvy route runner with top field awareness, setting up and selling routes beautifully.
• Does not have exceptional straight-line speed but takes advantage of open seams when his quarterback is on target.
• Very soft, natural hands to cleanly catch away from his frame. Concentration is excellent. Has the lateral agility and strength to get into and out of routes smoothly.
• Good quickness off the line. Has size and quickness to get off NFL press.
• He gets off the line with a nice burst and is very fluid in his movements with little wasted steps in his routes.
• Has good body strength to squirm out of tackles with the coordination to maneuver his frame between defenders.

Weaknesses

• Inconsistent high-pointing passes. Allows too many throws into his body when facing the quarterback.
• Does not own elite speed. Freezes at times when trying to juke defenders in space. Walls off his man as a blocker, allowing them to shed and make the play outside.
• Comes off the snap high and upright, and doesn't get to top speed quickly. Not sudden or elusive.
