Add your own sleepers and this way we can all learn more on these overachievers and look for them on day 2 of the draft. WR Jordan Kent.

MartyBall4Buffalo Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Always like to look at late round prospects as far as everyone loving rudy. I always got the sense Rudy was kind of an egotistical ass Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
junior Posted March 12, 2007 Share Posted March 12, 2007 Scouting Report Overview- Jordan Kent has really emerged as an interesting WR prospect this year. He is an All-American in track and an accomplished basketball player (the son of Oregon's head basketball coach) who is still feeling his way around a football field and has a very high ceiling. If that wasn't enough, Kent is a repeat selection on the Pac-10's All-Academic list. Strengths- An outrageous athlete with size and speed and outstanding body control, Kent has all the physical tools one is looking for in a WR. He has the quickness and surprisingly good hand-fighting techniques to get off the jam at the LOS. He has a long stride that allows him to sneak up on defenders and an explosive burst to leave them in the dust. Despite his height and inexperience, he stays low in his pads to get in and out of his cuts more quickly and effectively. Once the ball is in his hands, he can generate YAC with his speed and his ability to use head and body fakes (basketball moves) to get the defender off balance. Kent is a character guy who is a hard-worker and a quick study. Weaknesses- Kent is an unfinished work at this point. He is raw and is still learning many of the nuances of the game. As a track star, he doesn't yet have a football build. He needs to continue to add functional football strength and add some bulk to his frame. Kent also needs to improve his ball skills. He doesn't always time his jumps accurately and can be beaten for the jump ball (unacceptable for a 6'4" WR). He also needs to develop more trust in his hands and snatch the ball instead of letting it get into his body. Projection- Kent is a real sleeper in this draft. He's inexperienced and raw, but has a lot of potential. Unfortunately, the number of "track" guys who try to make the switch to football effectively is relatively small, so there is a bit of a bias. Kent, however, gives me the impression that he can make the transition effectively and be a future star at the WR position. http://condraft.com/database/pacific-10/or...kent/index.html Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
