Kentucky Jet Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 Cost us a 6th and we swapped 7th's with the Eagles apparently according to NFL.com's draft tracker. But we have another 7th rounder from the Cardinals apparently, so, we still have two 7th round picks - from the Cardinals pick 5 (#208) and from the Eagles via Seahawks pick 24 (#227) -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Wide Receiver | T.C.U. | SR Jeremy Kerley Height: 5-9½ | Weight: 189 | 40-Time: 4.59 Official Bio Strengths: • Outstanding natural athleticism with a burst • Quick and plays much faster than he runs in shorts • Adequate bulk and well-built with a sturdy frame • Extremely elusive with great agility and balance • Soft, reliable hands and plucks ball away from body • Displays impressive ball skills and body control • Terrific vision and instincts in the open field • Tough and isn't afraid to go across the middle • Also excels on special teams as a return man Weaknesses: • Lacks the ideal height you'd prefer • Has short arms as well as small hands • Timed speed is merely average, at best • Is not a very polished route runner • Not really much of a vertical threat • Isn't overly strong or powerful • Does not offer much as a blocker • May have some durability concerns Notes: A two-year starter for the Horned Frogs --- Earned 1st Team All-MWC honors as a junior and senior --- Named Mountain West Conference’s Special Teams Player of the Year in 2009 and 2010 --- Averaged 13.8 yards with 2 touchdowns on 94 punt returns and 27.2 yards with 0 touchdowns on 37 kick returns during college career --- Also carried the ball 63 times for 306 yards (4.9 avg.) and 8 touchdowns at Texas Christian --- Missed some time and was hampered by a back injury in 2008 --- Also played baseball in high school, which he claims is his first love, and boasts of a 95-mph fastball --- Extremely versatile prospect who has lined up all over the field --- Dynamic playmaker capable of putting points on the board every time he touches the ball --- Profiles as a prototypical slot receiver and top return specialist at the pro level. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Career Statistics Year GP REC YDS YPC TD 2007 13 9 97 10.8 0 2008 11 11 95 8.6 0 2009 13 44 532 12.1 2 2010 13 56 575 10.3 10 Totals 50 120 1,299 10.8 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JetNation Posted April 30, 2011 Share Posted April 30, 2011 On Saturday Jeremy Kerley, the New York Jets fifth round pick, addressed the media. Here is the transcript courtesy of the Jets. On how it felt being drafted by the Jets… It feels great. It’s a great weight lifted off my shoulders. I’m ready to get going and then do whatever I can to help the team. On whether he thinks the team brought him in to play right away… I don’t know, but (I’m looking forward to) just being able to come in and take a look at the guys like Santonio (Holmes) and Jerricho (Cotchery). I’m ready to be a student of the game and ready to just take whatever criticism they have to give to me. On how he would describe himself as a player… I’m definitely a special teams guy. I know that my special teams ability is definitely what makes me the player that I am. On his role on special teams… (I played) kick returner and punt returner. On working with Coach Mike Westhoff … I’m definitely looking forward to it. Any criticism is good criticism, so I’m ready to be a student. I’m ready to go in and try to do as much learning as I can. On how much interest he saw from the Jets during the draft process… I had a great workout for them when they came down and they worked me out. Ever since then, I’ve thought in the back of my mind, ‘Maybe, somewhere down that line, it could be.’ I’m just glad it was today. On who came down from the Jets… The offensive coordinator (Coach Brian Schottenheimer). On what wide receiver position he played at in college… (I played) slot receiver, mainly. On whether he thinks he can play other wide receiver positions… Yes, sir. I was only limited to the slot because that’s where my team needed me. I didn’t complain about my position. I just played it. If I’m needed on the outside, I’m ready and I’m willing to play on the outside. On how he thinks it benefits him to come from a winning program like TCU… Discipline. We were so disciplined that winning eventually came naturally to us. When you’re a disciplined team and you can do what your coach wants you to do, the right things will happen to you. That’s what I’m looking to do at the next level. </img></img> View the full article Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
