Lil Woody Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 (Rotoworld) Connor Hughes of NJ Advance Media said Jets fifth-round TE Jordan Leggett "needs some work." Analysis: Hughes came to that conclusion after watching Leggett struggle through rookie minicamp last week. While Hughes was impressed with Leggett's physical makeup (he's listed at 6'6/258), he criticized his "technique" and found his route-running to be "rough." Hughes also noted that Leggett dropped a "handful of easy passes" during receiving drills. Regardless of whether he's ready, Leggett should have a chance to see the field right away, particularly with Austin Seferian-Jenkins facing a two-game suspension to begin the year.

jetfan61 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 Receiving skills "Jordan Leggett is one of those players that just makes things look easy. If he owns one stand-out trait, it’s his hands. Not only are they huge, but they work to cushion the ball and absorb the velocity on the throw. His grip strength is also impressive, especially when working in traffic. According to Pro Football Focus, Leggett only had three drops on 49 catchable targets during the 2016 season." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jetfan61 Posted May 7, 2017 Share Posted May 7, 2017 "Jets selected Clemson TE Jordan Leggett with the No. 150 overall pick in the 2017 NFL draft. Leggett (6’6/258) made 38 starts for Clemson, tallying a 112/1,598/18 (14.3 YPR) receiving line and earning first-team All-ACC as both a junior and senior. PFF College charted Leggett with nine drops among 109 catchable targets over his final three years. A solid college receiving tight end whose NFL transition is questionable, Leggett was a poor run blocker on tape and has zero special teams experience. He was allegedly nicknamed "Lazy Leggett" at Clemson for poor work habits. At his Pro Day, Leggett ran 4.71 with passable vertical (33") and broad (9’11") jump numbers. Neither a run-game asset nor a dominant receiver, Leggett would do well to carve out a Jermaine Gresham-like career. Apr 29 - 2:23 PM" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

" Not sure where this analyst is from, but in all probability if you posted the negatives on this player you would see that he shows up for BIG games, and takes other games off. I really liked the pick of leggett where the Jets got him. The reason he was still there is because he is self confessed "lazy" His stats, game to game, clearly indicate that he brings his A game some weeks, and some weeks not so much. This guy meets all the checks for an impact TE. If he does it or not is all up to him. According to what I have read he dropped several balls at the mini camp. This is the NFL, you have to bring your A game every week. Think Hughes view on it is fair. Leggett needs to treat every time he's on the field like it's the NCAA Championship game.
