Jalen Reagor | WR | TCU
Elevator Pitch
Reagor is an absolutely electric player. He can come out of the backfield, line up at wide receiver and is a playmaker in the return game. A fast rising player who could work his way into the first round of the NFL draft.

Strengths
The mistake that some make is thinking Reagor is nothing more than a gadget player, and that can’t be any further from the truth. While he can move around from coming out of the backfield as a runner or play out wide, Reagor is one of those players who you need to get the ball in his hands. Even at 5’11”, he can climb the ladder to high point the ball with his 42″ vertical.
Reagor really can work all three levels of a defense in the passing game whether is on a screen, intermediate routes or the deep shots down the field. He creates separation with his top end speed and crisp route running. Uses his technique well to explode out of breaks. He creates separation with that combination of speed and route running. Great option for quarterback as he will give you space to fit the ball in.
Big part of the NFL is all about field position. Reagor can help with big plays as a home run hitter on punt returns. His ability to see the field like a running back and find the hole. Not only seeing the field but has the explosive ability to get through the creases and top end speed to put pressure on the coverage unit.
The Steelers have met with TCU WR Jalen Reagor.
Adding an absolute burner to the offense would be a blast. 💨

Weaknesses
The biggest knock on Reagor will be inconsistent hands as a pass catcher. He did deal with suspect quarterback play during his time in Fort Worth, Texas. Although his hands can fail him at times, just needs to work on being more consistent when he gets the ball coming his way. Some of it may just be a lack of focus, can miss the gimme throws and make the spectacular plays.
As with any wide receiver that is smaller in stature, there can be worries about the physicality. For the former Horned Frog it is no different. Reagor can struggle with press coverage at times with dealing with more physical corners. Will need to work on disengaging from corners and use his athleticism to win at the next level.
