Draft Profile: Jerrel Jernigan

We all know that the Browns are in need of a deep threat, pass catching receiver. Jerrel Jernigan is one of the more interesting prospects on the board. he is a receiver for Troy and is considered a good second round WR, why he is considered the third best prospect right now. He is 5-9 190 lbs, and runs a 40 of 4:35

Strengths:

  • Blazing speed with tremendous hands
  • Explosive after the catch
  • Consistently catches the ball away from his body
  • Great burst off the line, great burst in and out of his cuts
  • Accelerates to full speed quickly
  • Runs crisp routes
  • Good leaping ability and body control, adjusts well to the ball in the air
  • Willing to catch passes in traffic
  • Elusive in the open field
  • Can play outside or in the slot, and can contribute right away as a return man
  • Can also line up in the backfield as either a running back or wildcat quarterback

Weaknesses:

  • A little undersized
  • May have trouble with physical corners in the NFL
  • Although he's willing, he's not a good blocker because of his size.
overall he seems to be a good second round option for us. EWven though he is small he can always get separation, and most of the DBs in the AFC north are'nt that tall. I think he could be a good pick to give McCoy a new toy to play with.
