![]() ![]() Whether the NFL values them high or not remains to be seen. Note: The percentiles in parentheses listed next to pro day data are compared to all historical athletic testing (combine and pro day) at the respective position of the player. Kudos to Pro Football Focus, and their Pro Day Schedule and Results Tracker, for this. As there was no scouting combine in 2021, and pro day schedules vary, we may not have all testing information for all prospects at publication time. For offensive tackles whose positional specificity is in question, we will include percentiles for both positions per PFF’s data.īio: A dual-threat athlete coming out of Archbishop Rummel High School in Jefferson Parish, Louisiana, Ja’Marr Chase had dozens of scholarship offers due to his success on the gridiron and in track and field. ![]() Chase originally decided to attend Mississippi, but changed course due to investigations of the school by the NCAA. He decided to stay close to home and play for LSU, and was part of one of the most prolific offenses in college football history. Stat to Know: Back in 2019 Pro Football Focus charted Chase with 24 deep catches, which they termed as “the most we’ve seen in a college season.” Chase decided to opt-out last season due to the COVID-19 pandemic. Strengths: In a draft that might not offer a ton of options in the X receiver mold, Chase’s experience facing and beating press coverage stands out. In a game that has become a bit of scouting lore because of the number of future first-round players, the 2019 contest between LSU and Alabama, you’ll get a chance to see Chase battle with a press coverage defender who would get drafted in the second round, Alabama’s Trevon Diggs. That game is a perfect illustration of Chase’s upper-body strength and physical style of play. He can use both power and footwork to beat the press, and that will truly serve him well at the next level.Ĭhase’s play strength translates after the catch as well, PFF charted him with 22 broken tackles after the catch, and that gives him the ability to turn slants and hitches into big plays due to his strength. ![]()
