2020 NFL Draft: TCU’s Jalen Reagor torching secondaries near you

Reagor’s Flashy Film
With the NFL becoming more of a passing league than ever before, a league that seeks to establish playmakers over the usual norm of establishing the run, Reagor is built in the mold that teams are looking for. Big bodied one trick ponies are becoming a way of the past, but agile, quick footed receivers who can create separation on their breaks and make plays after the catch are all the rage.
Insert Jalen Reagor here; get the ball into his hands in space and let him make a play for your ball club. Reagor shows great footwork off of the line of scrimmage to create immediate separation, then wins at the break point to create even more comfort between him and the defender.
While he could show more catch comfortability and a larger catch radius, Reagor’s hands are not a liability, and he can be used in a variety of ways. Down the field, Reagor shows a great ball tracking ability to run underneath the pigskin, and along the sideline he shows great body control to go up at the catch point while remaining squared up to the ball. Here is an example of Reagor’s body control below:

- Explosive get off at LOS.
- Quick hesitation to get outside leverage.
- Begins to look back and locks arms with the DB.
- Disengages at the perfect moment for the easy TD.

Quick hitters on screens, a reliable underneath target, and a downfield deep threat, Reagor will be an absolute gem at the next level.
