Yup, hes an explosive player from head to toe.

He's got some Tyler Locket to him, plays taller than he is.

the myth of being a bad route runner shows me people dont watch players and just look at reviews from arsehats online. might as well quote TATE as a source.

 

Yup i saw that reagor video about a month ago and it really sold me on reagor. I dont have the knowledge in route running that this video shows and after watching it i thought wow this reagor kid is a solid route runner.

And imagine hell only get better

Anyone here or see rumors that Reagor ran a 4.28 at a private workout weeks after the combine?

Is this accurate?

Maybe, but pro days tend to be faster that the combine. He plays faster than his combine speed on tape. The red flag with him will be the drops. Hopefully he can overcome that.

He reminds of steve smith(panthers) in that way. Smith was only about 5'9" but he could really go up and high point a ball against taller corners. Smith was also explosive in his movements and a great college punt returner.

Thats who reagor most reminds me of.

yeah, he plays faster than his combine time. 4.3's sounds about right. The disparity in times on the stop watch is interesting. But great article. 

The player at the combine was 207 lbs and ran 4.47.  The player we are actually getting is closer 195-200 lb and runs a 4.35-4.39.

42in vert helps in that department. He can high point catches a lot better than many WR's his size, and better than many who have 3-4 in on him.

Yup its the best breakdown vid ive seen.

A scout timed him at 4.28 while his trainer had 4.22: https://bleacherreport.com/articles/2886121-video-jalen-reagor-runs-unofficial-422-second-40-at-virtual-nfl-draft-pro-day

 

Reagor confirms he ran a 4.2 at his pro day after dropping some weight. Rumor is confirmed.

He's got dog but I don't think he's got that much dog.  I'm going with Mike Wallace former Steelers.

Yup the guy is fast. Regardless of his 40 time the guys speed shows up on tape

Yeah, he was making me think of Steve Smith as well. How great would it be if he has a career like that.

According to Adam Caplan in that video I posted, he was 10 pounds heavier for the combine and that slowed him down. I think he's a 4.3 on the field without that extra weight.

I think the lesson here is that he's got some body versatility.  If he wants to be a pure deep threat he can lose some weight and be blazing fast.  But if he wants to be a true #1 WR and take the extra punishment he can also play a little heavier and still be fast and very quick.

Lol yeah Smith was a pit bull, maybe reagor is a rottweiler😊

Steve smith is a HOF receiver to me so yeah i would be ok with that😊

LOL.  I dunno about Rottweiler, but if he fights like a Boxer and runs like a Greyhound I'll take it.

I grew up with boxers, hopefully reagor isnt a big goof ball😄

Hoping for Safety or another WR in the 2nd round. It looks like some good talented Safeties that will land in our spot.

I'm leaning EDGE or big X WR.  Safety is 3rd option IMHO.

Which edge players are you thinking. Im not familiar with a lot of the edge players in this draft. Anybody thats caught your eye?

Terrell Lewis of Alabama.  Fits the mold of DE we like and is best suited for a rotational role like we use.  I believe we gave him some love in pre draft.

Just grab the BPA at 53 unless you end up with a few in the same grade area, then go need.

Well his injury history would fit the eagles😲

They did say his game tape shows he plays faster than that.

Who’s he playing against though?  Certainly not elite level talent.  it’s too early to call anyone a bust obviously so I’m not doing that.  But what I don’t like is that we took him over a guy who had an elite ab throwing him the ball in a better conference against better opponents.  I think that translates better to the nfl.  In fact it might speak more volume than if Reagor dominated and put up amazing stats vs lesser opponents.  I guess I’m tired of howie continually taking the not so obvious pick trying to prove he’s smarter than everybody.  I don’t buy the "he would have been taking a few picks later” BS he put out there.  Yeah he might have been but that doesn’t mean you have to get him.  Just My 2 cents.

That's exactly why I think the Eagles can steal him.  Talent wise this guy is nuts, but the injury history will scare teams off.  The Eagles however will never ask him to take more than 70% snaps.  They also have no problem playing a 2nd rd pick 30-40% snaps while he develops.  I think it's a great match.  I think somebody gets him first, but if he's there at #50 I am jumping up with Chicago to nab him.

Well let's put behind us the crap show that was last night and hope for the best. What's the smart play tonight?
