Draft Grade: Round 5 - Scheme Specific Contributor
Strengths:
Speed:Jennings possesses game-changing speed in the open field, allowing him to flip the field and create explosive plays with his legs.
Athleticism:Jennings is an elusive athlete who can make defenders miss in one-on-one situations, making him a consistent threat whenever he runs the ball.
Pocket Escapability:Jennings has a strong feel for defensive pressure and uses his athleticism to escape the pocket, turning potential negative plays into positive gains for the offense.
Concerns:
Accuracy:Jennings’ accuracy can be inconsistent from short to intermediate to deep throws. While he is capable of completing difficult passes, he can also follow up with routine misses that negatively impact the offense.
Arm Strength:Jennings’ deep ball tends to lose velocity and accuracy the farther downfield it travels, which could limit opportunities to generate explosive plays through the air.
Size:Jennings’ lack of height and overall mass may increase the risk of injury and can force him to leave the pocket to get a clean look at the field, potentially disrupting timing on passing plays.
