| | Player Profile | DeSean Jackson - Wide Receiver
College: California, Junior
|
| Strengths | Jackson is a dynamic junior speedster with some of the best open field ability I’ve ever seen; slightly smaller (a hair under 5’10”, 169) than Ted Ginn Jr. and not quite as top-end fast; very good on screens, short crosses, and quick outs; instant acceleration and very shifty, controlled lateral movement; has the warrior mentality and supreme confidence, reminiscent of Kellen Winslow II when at Miami; electrifying PR and a capable KR in the Devin Hester mold.
|
| Weaknesses | He runs good short routes but gets sloppier further down the field; not real physical but doesn’t shy away; inconsistent hands--has shown he can snatch the ball but doesn’t always concentrate and rarely looks the ball in, tries to run before he catches it far too often; not a very big target and doesn’t present himself as one well; gets pushed around and off routes too easily; disappears from the offense for long stretches, too easy to take off his game; doesn’t pick up coverage changes or hot reads well; inadequate blocker due to size, but he tries.
