Jayron Kearse-SS Clemson

[Wolf6151]

This guy intrigues me. I really like his pass coverage abilities, but he seems to lack the physicality of a true SS and even seems to avoid contact sometimes. Very tall at 6'04" but also very skinny, though I think he'll fill out his frame a little with time, especially on an NFL S&C program. I envision him as someone we could get in the 2nd round that could handle pass coverage on TE's that have been killing us, thus filling a huge defensive hole.

Opinions? Thanks.

If he tall and skinny, he needs to be quick and fast or he'll just get thrown around like a rag doll in the NFL. Usually fast isn't a problem with that frame, but quick is. If he's at the combine, look for his three cone time.

Only seen a couple games of his, and so far I see a guy above meh and below early round exceptional.

Agreed. This guy is getting 1st/2nd round hype right now and I just don't see it.

Size and "potential" go a long way.

Agree with above and am looking at Iowa's Jorden Lomax 5'10 205 with some speed. 93 Ts and 6 PBU. I have him in 4th but may fall to 5th. Also like teammate CB Desmond King who grades at round 2 but has not announced..I am not mocking him to Texans.
