Overview

Jalen Reagor's stock has plummeted due to his lackluster Combine performance in the 40-yard dash. Showing up at 206 pounds wasn’t smart. He is much faster on tape at his play weight which is between 190-195 pounds, which is where he is likely maxed out with his frame. 

When at that weight, Reagor is a play-maker with the ability to challenge every aspect of the field. There is a concern with drops, though they are more concentration issues than bad hands. Meaning, he is just preparing for a big hit, or looking to make a big play before seeing the ball all the way in. 

Yes, the difference here matters because coaches can work on coaching that out of Reagor and historically, concentration drops are easier and more successfully fixed than drops from bad hands.
