• Very good top-end speed
• Big-time deep threat

AGILITY (10/10)

• Joystick-like change-of-direction ability
• Has one of the filthiest dead legs you’ll ever see
• Extremely elusive in the open field — frequently makes the first defender miss

ROUTE RUNNING/SEPARATION (20/20)

• Lightning-quick route releases with great attention to detail
• Uses a variety of release plans to keep defenders guessing on every route
• Shows great creativity and nuance in every aspect of the route — off the line with his release, mid-route with subtle shoulder, head or foot fakes and at the top of the route
• Runs routes from X, Y and Z receiver alignments
• Three-level receiving threat with entire route tree in his arsenal
• Does well to stack trailing defensive backs once he gains a step on them
• Will be one of the best route runners in the league from the moment he steps onto an NFL field

RUN AFTER CATCH (9/10)

• Consistently turns short gains into medium or long gains
• Very elusive in the open field

• Will occasionally trap catch, but almost always extends arms and plucks the ball away from his body
• Hands are usually reliable
• Makes tough grabs over the middle after taking hits
• Drops were a non-issue on 2018 film, but became a little bit of an issue in 2019 (dropped seven passes last season)
• Limited sample size of ability to win in contested catch situations

BODY CONTROL (9/10)

• Excellent quickness and body control allow for smooth route adjustments
• Able to adjust to off-target passes without issue
• Has shown an ability to contort body and get feet down in bounds when working the sideline

BEAT PRESS (9/10)

• Defeats press coverage consistently with refined footwork and skilled hand fighting
• Could develop more upper-body strength to help with fending off big, physical press corners at the NFL level

FEEL (5/5)

• Tracks the ball well downfield
• Does a good job of working back to the quarterback on broken plays
• Consistently finds soft spots in zone coverage and knows where and when to “sit”

NFL COMPARISON: Chad Johnson

SCHEME FIT: X Receiver; can also play Y or Z

DRAFT PROJECTION: Top-15 pick

Jerry Jeudy’s athleticism and refined route-running ability make him a fit for any of the three wide receiver positions. His elite route running, athleticism and run-after-catch ability give him a high floor and a high ceiling. Jeudy has the talent to quickly become a top 5-10 NFL receiver.
