He can win the contested catches, he can gain YAC, he can stretch the field and he can return punts. If that Combine 4.47 is accurate he won't be doing a lot of field stretching, now if 4.22 that he allegedly ran at his Pro Day is accurate he will be a field stretcher.

Yes, I've seen most if not all of his highlights and all looks good but it's all about his speed, if he's a 4.47 guy expect another Nelson Agholor, if he's a 4.22 guy expect big things. When watching highlights you have to consider the competition as well as your teammates. His QB was crap which favors him, the Big 12 Conference is known for fielding poor defensive teams which doesn't favor him considering the numbers he put up. My pick would have been Mims but let's hope for the best. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
proveagle Posted May 22, 2020 Share Posted May 22, 2020 My only concern with Reagor is drops. When I watch his tape the explosiveness and speed are there. What I like the most is how he elevates with a huge vert to go get the ball. If he can have reliable hands and be physical on release and at catch point he will dominate. Even without that I feel like the coaching staff is going to scheme him open on short stuff like crazy. Looking forward to seeing him on the field with Djax.

I don't think drops are going to be a problem, he has good form.......arms extended and all hands, even on several deep balls where a basket catch was an option, Reager opted to turn is body, extend his arms and make a solid hands catch. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it's concentration that led to those drops which I'm sure the team will work on. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoconoDon Posted May 23, 2020 Share Posted May 23, 2020 I don't expect too many stop routes or jump balls with Reagor. I think he's a "hit him in stride" kinda guy. Let him run under throws, and he'll have a big impact. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But he's a physical enough WR to go get the ball. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not how he ran at one event in shorts and a t-shirt. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He was 18 years old at the time. I havent been this excited about an eagles receiver since we drafted desean. He's just so dynamic with the ball in his hands. But he also has the ball skills and explosive leaping ability to high point the football like a 6'3 receiver. He has nuance in his route running but it needs polish and refinement. If/when that happens, look out. He reminds me of AB, but more explosive. His HS coach compared him to a blend of AB and tyreek hill. Strangely enough, ive seen lots of people compare Wentz to Big Ben and miles to le'veon in terms of their play style. I truly believe wentz, sanders & reagor have that kind of upside as triplets. I cant wait to watch these guys grow together. Hopefully covid doesnt prevent the season from happening. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jefferson was only contributing in the slot. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PoconoDon Posted July 13, 2020 Share Posted July 13, 2020 i'm hoping he proves to be the perfect Desean Jackson replacement on the outside. All they need then is replacement for Alshon and a big time slot WR....and depth. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And that's not to say that he will be a better player or put up bigger numbers. I just think Reagor can do more in terms of his bigger, more physical and can be used in more ways. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Won’t be a game changer but could be a reliable presence there. Kind of like a Jason Avant type of slot receiver. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

In my fantasy perfect world, he develops into a solid backup slot WR that is used here and there as needed, and is productive when called upon. If he is more than that? Great! The guy I'm focusing on is JJAW. He better wake up and turn it on this year, or they'll need a WR early in April, 2021. I'm not optimistic he can replace Alshon though.

time2rock Posted July 18, 2020 Share Posted July 18, 2020 I did not know this before ... really like this stat: Career contested catches among 1st RD WRs: 1. Jalen Reagor – 27 2. Ceedee Lamb – 21 3. Justin Jefferson – 19 4. Jerry Jeudy – 13 5. Henry Ruggs III -12 6. Brandon Aiyuk – 3 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
